eddy

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

'vortex' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inspired dyson hoovers?' is the wordplay.

However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "Circular movement of air" , "Ripple" , "(Of fluid) circle round" , "Twist" , "Swirl, whirl" .)
