Large stir about second French publisher (8)

I believe the answer is:

larousse

'french publisher' is the definition.
(French publisher of dictionaries)

'large stir about second' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'stir' becomes 'arouse' (arousing is a kind of stirring).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'arouse' enclosing 's' is 'arousse'.
'l'+'arousse'='LAROUSSE'

(Another definition for larousse that I've seen is " lexicographer".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
