Indian canoe, possibly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean

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

'indian' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'canoe possibly?' is the wordplay.
'possibly?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'canoe' with letters rearranged gives 'OCEAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "It's pretty wet!" , "One of the Seven Seas" , "Large stretch of sea" , "Very large area of sea" , "A lot of water!" .)
