Maui, for example (6)
I believe the answer is:
island
'maui for example' is the definition.
(I know that Maui is a island)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for island that I've seen before include "'Treasure - - ' by R L Stevenson" , "Tract surrounded by water" , "Such as Crete, say" , "Land mass surrounded by water" , "6 Across, for example" .)
