Window offering a view of the Loire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oriel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'window' is the definition.
(I know that oriel is a type of bay window)

'a view of the loire' is the wordplay.
'loire' can be anagrammed to 'ORIEL'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'offering' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oriel that I've seen before include "corbelled window?" , "place to study at Oxford" , "Loire (anag.)" , "Style of window" , "Large recess - type of window" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
