Why essential as the definition?

Peter Pedant

essence as a clue that it is a word in a word ( essence of something is in its core)

dannyk13

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?

dannyk13

It is just that ice is hidden in the clue.A common practice with setters.

Tilly2

It's essential because without ice there would be no ecosystem.

sedge47

The whole clue is the definition.

JJ109

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

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
