Absorbing limits in a gas explosion (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assimilating

'absorbing' is the definition.
(assimilating is a kind of absorbing)

'limits in a gas explosion' is the wordplay.
'explosion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'limits'+'in'+'a'+'gas'='limitsinagas'
'limitsinagas' is an anagram of 'ASSIMILATING'.

(Another definition for assimilating that I've seen is " Taking in and understanding".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
