In Thor, Eric managed to find eloquence (8)

I believe the answer is:

rhetoric

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

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

'in thor eric managed to' is the wordplay.
'thor eric' anagrams to 'RHETORIC'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'find' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhetoric that I've seen before include "Empty words?" , "High-flown language as for speeches" , "address" , "Art of effective speaking" , "The art of speaking or writing well" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
