In this way men are trained for the sea (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mediterranean

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

'the sea' is the definition.
(Mediterranean is an example)

'in this way men are trained' is the wordplay.
'men are trained' anagrams to 'MEDITERRANEAN'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mediterranean that I've seen before include "Inland sea" , "Sea linking three continents" , "Sea south of Europe" , "Sea north of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
