Easy thing, getting large settle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clinch

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

'settle' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'easy thing getting large' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'large' could be 'l' (eg in clothes sizes) and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cinch' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clinch that I've seen before include "Fierce embrace" , "Confirm - embrace" , "Settle conclusively, a deal say" , "Passionate embrace" , "Tight (or amorous) embrace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
