Ross

I believe the answer is:

magnificent

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

'being splendid' is the definition.
('magnificent' can be a synonym of 'splendid')

'can tim feign' is the wordplay.
'can tim feign' can be anagrammed to 'MAGNIFICENT'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
