Crossword Genius

Container from different place, Crete (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

receptacle

'container' is the definition.
(receptacle is a kind of container)

'different place crete' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator.
'place'+'crete'='placecrete'
'placecrete' anagrammed gives 'RECEPTACLE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for receptacle that I've seen before include "Holder" , "tank, say" , "bin, perhaps" , "Container" , "What may contain something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
