Continent in Americas I assume (4)

I believe the answer is:

asia

'continent' is the definition.
(Asia is an example)

'in americas i assume' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ASIA' is hidden within 'americas i assume'.

(Other definitions for asia that I've seen before include "Tigers found here" , "Continental land mass" , "lands in the east" , "Eastern continent" , "Great continent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
