I believe the answer is:

mega

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

'pushed back it is extremely large' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'a stone' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'meg' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
