Be entertained by giant from Asia (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tibetan

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

'asia' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'be entertained by giant' is the wordplay.
'entertained by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are hosted or entertained).
'giant' becomes 'titan' (titans are giant mythological creatures).
'be' put within 'titan' is 'TIBETAN'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tibetan that I've seen before include "From Lhasa, perhaps" , "Language giving us yak, sherpa and yeti" , "native of Lhasa, say?" , "Oriental" , "Former nationality of citizen of Lhasa" .)
