Canoe removed from sea (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean

'sea' is the definition.
(I know that sea can be written as ocean)

'canoe removed' is the wordplay.
'removed' is an anagram indicator (the letters must be move again or be re-moved).
'canoe' with letters rearranged gives 'OCEAN'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Major sea" , "Very large area of sea" , "Large body of salt water" , "Large stretch of sea" , "Vast quantity of liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
