____ de Janeiro (3)

I believe the answer is:

rio

(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "(Golfer) in the sand" , "... Grande, ... de Janeiro" , "Erstwhile home of Biggs" , "- Ferdinand, footballer" , "Brazilian city and port" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, the Universal, the Newsday and the USA Today.
