Dora's eccentric way (4)
I believe the answer is:
road
'way' is the definition.
(road is a kind of way)
'dora's eccentric' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' is an anagram indicator.
'dora' anagrammed gives 'ROAD'.
(Other definitions for road that I've seen before include "Way to achieving a particular outcome" , "course" , "Thoroughfare" , "public highway" , "Mine passage; way" .)
