River not shallow but endless (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dee

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

'river' is the definition.
(River Dee)

'not shallow but endless' is the wordplay.
'not shallow' becomes 'de' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'but' becomes 'yet' (synonyms).
'endless' indicates the central letters.
The middle of 'yet' is 'e'.
'de'+'e'='DEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dee that I've seen before include "River at Chester" , "Chester's river" , "Aberdeenshire river" , "John ---, Elizabethan mage" , "Scottish river" .)
