bath

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'english city' is the definition.
(Bath is an English city)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bath that I've seen before include "Hot tub" , "Roman Aquae Sulis" , "on the Kennet and Avon canal" , "English city - tub" , "Somerset city with abbey and medicinal waters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
