Violent whirlpool (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maelstrom

'violent whirlpool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for maelstrom that I've seen before include "Large whirlpool" , "Powerful circular current of water" , "Strong circular current of water" , "violent upheaval" , "danger to shipping" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the L.A. Times Daily, the USA Today, the Universal and the King Feature Syndicate.
