Drainage development (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eddy

'drainage development' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "Mini-whirlpool" , "giddying effect" , "Vortex" , "Chap" , "Rapid circular current" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Newsday.com and the Newsday.
