Bail out in the Indian Ocean (4)
I believe the answer is:
bali
'the indian ocean' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'bail out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'bail' is an anagram of 'BALI'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bali that I've seen before include "Indonesian holiday destination" , "Indonesian island, capital Denpasar" , "Island in Indonesia" , "Middle East country" , "Javanese island" .)
