Island ways verbalised (6)
I believe the answer is:
rhodes
'island' is the definition.
(Greek island)
'ways verbalised' is the wordplay.
'ways' becomes 'roads' (road is a kind of way).
'verbalised' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'roads' sounds like 'RHODES'.
(Other definitions for rhodes that I've seen before include "Greek island - British-born South African statesman" , "Hordes go to the Greek island" , "Horsed around on the Greek island" , "Greek island, ten miles off the Turkish coast" , "Island, explorer" .)
