Endless uproar in port (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rio

'port' is the definition.
(Rio de Janeiro is a port)

'endless uproar' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'uproar' becomes 'riot' (both can mean a disturbance or commotion).
'riot' with its final letter taken off is 'RIO'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "Erstwhile home of Biggs" , "Port, -- de Janeiro" , "place of carnival" , "The ... Grande borders Texas and Mexico" , "... Grande, ... de Janeiro" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
