Only lake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

This clue is a double definition.

'only' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lake' is the second definition.
(I know that mere is a type of lake)

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than is specified - or a poetic lake" , "Nothing more than a small pond" , "Unimpressive" , "Bare, simple" , "of no significance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Guardian.
