Bird and endlessly enormous fellow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titan

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

'enormous fellow' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'bird and endlessly' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'and' with its last letter removed is 'an'.
'tit'+'an'='TITAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for titan that I've seen before include "Atlas, possibly" , "very big" , "Taint (anag.)" , "Jupiter's largest satellite" , "Colossus" .)
