Wind that’s icy — a feature of the continent (8)
I believe the answer is:
chastity
'a feature of the continent' is the definition.
(feature of continent or chaste people)
'wind that's icy' is the wordplay.
'wind' is an anagram indicator.
'thats'+'icy'='thatsicy'
'thatsicy' with letters rearranged gives 'CHASTITY'.
(Other definitions for chastity that I've seen before include "Virtue, celibacy" , "Pure character" , "Abstention from carnal activity" , "Medieval contraceptive device" , "Sexual purity" .)
