Crossword Genius

Vessel in felucca or tanker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aorta

'vessel' is the definition.
(blood vessel)

'in felucca or tanker' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AORTA' is hidden in the letters of 'felucca or tanker'.

(Other definitions for aorta that I've seen before include "main arterial route" , "sort of vessel" , "Main artery from heart" , "Body's main artery" , "Blood carrier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
