Body part very softly separating water (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adam's apple

'body part' is the definition.
(Adam's apple is an example)

'very softly separating water' is the wordplay.
'very softly' becomes 'pp' (abbreviation for pianissimo - very quietly).
'separating' indicates putting letters inside.
'water' becomes 'adams ale' (humorous term for water).
'pp' going within 'adamsale' is 'ADAMS APPLE'.
