Angel Falls in continent for relief from pain (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

analgesia

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

'relief from pain' is the definition.
'analgesia' can be an answer for 'relief' (I have seen 'Relief of pain ' mean 'analgesia' so perhaps 'relief' could also mean 'analgesia'). I am not certain of the 'from pain' bit.

'angel falls in continent' is the wordplay.
'falls' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'fallen' mean this).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'continent' becomes 'asia' (Asia is an example).
'angel' is an anagram of 'nalge'.
'nalge' placed within 'asia' is 'ANALGESIA'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for analgesia that I've seen before include "Absence of pain" , "painless" , "result of medication?" , "Inability to feel pain" , "As a linage (anag) - insensibility to pain" .)
