limpopo

'african river' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'father goes in car' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'father' could be 'pop' (pop is a kind of father) and 'pop' is found in the answer.
'car' could be 'limo' (limo is a kind of car) and 'limo' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to see' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limpopo that I've seen before include "River of SE Africa" , "African runner" , "African river" , "River of South Africa" , "S. Africa/Zimbabwe border river" .)
