ocean

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

'indian? could be' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'green upset with article' is the wordplay.
'green' becomes 'eco' (eco-friendly).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'eco' backwards is 'oce'.
'oce'+'an'='OCEAN'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Indian or Arctic, say" , "Main" , "Large amount of water and" , "Huge expanse" , "Pacific, perhaps" .)
