Venetian boat (7)
I believe the answer is:
gondola
'venetian boat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for gondola that I've seen before include "Venice craft" , "Cabin suspended from an airship" , "Compartment suspended from an airship" , "Venetian boat - airship cabin" , "Traditionally used on Venetian canals" .)
