ArctIC Ecosystem
hey I know this one! Miss - - -Miiiiiiiiiiss!

and is last two letters of arctic and first of eco - ic-e
in the clue. ice..
Question Author
Why essential as the definition?
essence as a clue that it is a word in a word ( essence of something is in its core)
The definition is 'essential part'

Question Author
Essence as a clue leaves no definition

And essential part as a definition = ice doesn’t make sense to me?
It is just that ice is hidden in the clue.A common practice with setters.
It's essential because without ice there would be no ecosystem.
The whole clue is the definition.
You could argue that it is a double definition

Straight clue - ICE is essential to the arctic ecosystem, ie it is an essential part
+
Ice is an essential "part" (ie hidden in the clue) of Arct (IC E)cosystem
Question Author
I’ve never seen a cryptic clue that isn’t a definition (first or last word[s]) and a seperate cryptic part ( the remainder) I thought they were the rules?


Ah well thanks
