Address to superior officer going back and forth in wind (7)
I believe the answer is:
sirocco
'wind' is the definition.
(I know that sirocco is a type of wind)
'address to superior officer going back and forth' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'address' could be 'sir' (I have seen 'formal address' mean 'sir' so perhaps 'address' could also mean 'sir') and 'sir' is present in the answer.
'officer' could be 'oc' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'oc' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'co' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sirocco that I've seen before include "Wind from the desert" , "Hot Saharan wind blowing into the Mediterranean" , "Hot dusty wind from north Africa to Europe" , "a blow to Italy?" , "Hot south wind from North Africa" .)
