Crossword Genius

Tenor and doctor, unusually fit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drift

'tenor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'doctor unusually fit' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor'**).
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'fit' with letters rearranged gives 'ift'.
'dr'+'ift'='DRIFT'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drift that I've seen before include "General trend - current travel" , "Coast" , "Bank (of snow)" , "aimless" , "Meander aimlessly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
