Having more than one place on river (6)

I believe the answer is:

plural

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

'having more than one' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'place on river' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'river' becomes 'ural' (I've seen this before**).
'pl'+'ural'='PLURAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plural that I've seen before include "Consisting of more than one" , "Word form denoting more than one is involved" , "Numbering more than one" , "More than one in number" , "Composed of more than one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
