Loch smooth at one corner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one corner' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'loch smooth' is the wordplay.
'loch' becomes 'l'.
'smooth' becomes 'even' (similar in meaning).
'l'+'even'='LEVEN'

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for leven that I've seen is " Loch".)
