Depict a harbourman (7)
I believe the answer is:
portray
'depict' is the definition.
(I know that depict can be written as portray)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for portray that I've seen before include "sketch" , "Show" , "Depict, present" , "Delineate" , "Depict in art" .)
