Crossword Genius

Boat from Portugal (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tug

'boat' is the definition.
(I know that tug is a type of boat)

'from portugal' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TUG' is hidden within 'portugal'.

(Other definitions for tug that I've seen before include "Pull suddenly; boat" , "Small boat for towing others" , "Small boat designed to pull larger ships" , "Pull vigorously at or tow" , "Boat to pull larger one" .)
