Windblown deposit (5)
I believe the answer is:
loess
'windblown deposit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for loess that I've seen before include "Wind-blown loamy deposit" , "geological feature" , "Compacted wind-blown sediment (geology)" , "desposit" , "that may be deposited" .)
