Call of the sea? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ahoy
'call of the sea?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'call of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'call' could be 'ho' (historical exclamation used to attract attention) and 'ho' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ay' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ahoy that I've seen before include "Mariner's call" , "Hail at sea" , "Nautical shout" , "The sailor cries ''ship . . . .''" , "Cry at sea" .)
