Natural feature getting a girl in near frenzy (6)
I believe the answer is:
ravine
'natural feature' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'a girl in near frenzy' is the wordplay.
'a girl' becomes 'vi' (**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'frenzy' indicates an anagram.
'near' with letters rearranged gives 'rane'.
'vi' going inside 'rane' is 'RAVINE'.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ravine that I've seen before include "Type of gorge" , "Canyon" , "'Deep, steep valley (6)'" , "Narrow, steep-sided valley" , "Deep narrow gorge between mountains" .)
