Shout for river paddle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roar

'shout' is the definition.
(roar is a kind of shout)

'river paddle' is the wordplay.
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'paddle' becomes 'oar' (I've seen this in another clue).
'r'+'oar'='ROAR'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for roar that I've seen before include "Zoom - prolonged cry" , "Yell" , "Bellow, holler" , "Shout loudly" , "Deep-throated cry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
