Appreciates ill wind and a bit of overshadowing (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partial eclipse

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

'a bit of overshadowing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'appreciates ill wind' is the wordplay.
'wind' indicates an anagram.
'appreciates'+'ill'='appreciatesill'
'appreciatesill' anagrammed gives 'PARTIAL ECLIPSE'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for partial eclipse that I've seen before include "Heavenly event" , "that limits star's appearance" , "blockout without full effect" , "perhaps, of ominous event?" , "Astronomical event" .)
