Feature of bathroom offering tarry bottom of seat? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bidet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'feature of bathroom' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'tarry bottom of seat?' is the wordplay.
'tarry' becomes 'bide' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bottom of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'seat' is 't'.
'bide'+'t'='BIDET'

'offering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bidet that I've seen before include "Bathroom basin" , "behind cleaner" , "Type of basin" , "bathroom installation" , "Washing facility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
