Port does as rum (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odessa

'port' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'does as rum' is the wordplay.
'rum' is an anagram indicator (rum can mean strange or unusual).
'does'+'as'='doesas'
'doesas' anagrammed gives 'ODESSA'.

(Other definitions for odessa that I've seen before include "Port city on the Black Sea" , "Black Sea location" , "Do seas come into Ukrainian city?" , "Ukrainian location" , "Ukrainian Black Sea port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
