Stare in awe, bewildered by what can be found in the ocean (8)
I believe the answer is:
seawater
'the ocean' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'stare in awe bewildered by what can be' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'awe' is 'eaw' which is within the answer.
an anagram of 'stare' is 'sater' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'found in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seawater that I've seen before include "Brine" , "Drink" , "What breaches dyke, perhaps" .)
