Gynaecologist held back the tide there (5)
I believe the answer is:
ocean
'tide there' is the definition.
'ocean' can be an answer for 'tide' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'there' bit.
'gynaecologist held back' is the wordplay.
'held' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'naeco' can be found hidden inside 'gynaecologist'.
'naeco' backwards is 'OCEAN'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Salt water expanse" , "Vast quantity of liquid" , "Major sea" , "Very large area of sea" , "It's pretty wet!" .)
