North African doctors’ room (4)

I believe the answer is:

moor

'north african' is the definition.

'doctors' room' is the wordplay.
'doctors'' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'doctored' mean this).
'room' anagrammed gives 'MOOR'.

(Other definitions for moor that I've seen before include "Open expanse covered with heather and bracken" , "Anchor" , "Heathery upland" , "Ilkley or Bodmin" , "Arab" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
