Water from a hose, apparently (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sea

'water' is the definition.
(sea is a kind of water)

'from a hose apparently' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'SEA' is hidden within 'hose apparently'.

(Other definitions for sea that I've seen before include "Large expanse of water" , "Part of ocean" , "E.g Aral or Weddell" , "Division of an ocean" , "The main" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
