Create revolution, following Egypt and the rest (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

et cetera

'and the rest' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'create revolution following egypt' is the wordplay.
'revolution' is an anagram indicator.
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'egypt' becomes 'et' (I've seen this in other clues).
'create' with letters rearranged gives 'cetera'.
'cetera' after 'et' is 'ET CETERA'.

(Other definitions for et cetera that I've seen before include "And the rest (Latin)" , "something similar" , "Etc" , "that reduces length of sentence" , "Drive out, expel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
