Advance large target (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lend

'advance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'large target' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'target' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'end'='LEND'

(Other definitions for lend that I've seen before include "Impart" , "contribute" , "Advance, loan" , "Let someone borrow" , "Give (a quality) to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
