Canoe damaged where sharks thrash? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ocean
'sharks thrash?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'canoe damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'canoe' anagrammed gives 'OCEAN'.
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Huge body of water" , "eg Arctic" , "Vast sea" , "The deep" , "One of the Seven Seas" .)
