Small whirlpool (4)

I think it could be either:

eddy

edwy

'small whirlpool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "Small circular movement of water" , "Founder of Christian Science, d. 1910" , "Whirl (in fluid)" , "Swirl; small whirlpool" , "religious leader" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The Sun, the Universal, the USA Today, The Guardian, The Times, The New York Times and The Independent.
