daily mail from monday

[trueblue]

Been away without internet access so only just got back ... the clue was "Lots come across smell in French river where it meets the sea" (or very similar) and the answer is given as "embouchure" - can someone please explain how you get the awnswer from the clue? I've looked on answerbank but it appears no-one else had a problem...!!! Many Thanks

Lots = Much

Smell= Bo

French river= Eure

E M BO UCH URE......Mouth of river

hi kayakamina .... apologies ... i looked all the way back to monday for this one on answerbank but did not see it (to my surprise) ... so many thanks for the full explanation again ... i think this clue went one step beyond cryptic though and belonged somewhere else such as the st mephisto. ...again - many thanks .. regards
