Crossword Genius

Describe loan arrangement as significant (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

considerable

'significant' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'describe loan arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates an anagram.
'describe'+'loan'='describeloan'
'describeloan' with letters rearranged gives 'CONSIDERABLE'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for considerable that I've seen before include "Fairly large or numerous" , "Tidy" , "Great" , "worth entertaining?" , "Notably large" .)
