Throughout Whitsun, a minister gets big wave (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tsunami

'big wave' is the definition.
(a tsunami is a large wave)

'throughout whitsun a minister gets' is the wordplay.
'gets' indicates a hidden word.
'TSUNAMI' is hidden in the letters of 'throughout whitsun a minister'.

(Other definitions for tsunami that I've seen before include "Large ocean wave" , "Marine natural disaster" , "wall of water" , "Strong surge" , "stormy sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
