A better lake (8)

I believe the answer is:

superior

This clue is a double definition.

'a better' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

(Other definitions for superior that I've seen before include "Bigger" , "The largest of the Great Lakes" , "One of higher rank" , "Snooty" , "Higher-ranking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
