Concept of immeasurable time, in its entirety, perplexes them (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eternity

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

'concept of immeasurable time' is the definition.
'eternity' can be an answer for 'time' (eternity is a kind of time). I am unsure of the 'concept of immeasurable' bit.

'its entirety perplexes them' is the wordplay.
'entirety' anagrams to 'ETERNITY'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eternity that I've seen before include "Time without end" , "Ages and ages" , "Perpetuity" , "Endless period" , "Wolfgang Amadeus -" .)
