Elaborate spread (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

6

expand

I believe this is a double definition.

'elaborate' is the first definition.
(I know that elaborate can be written as expand)

'spread' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for expand that I've seen before include "put on weight?" , "Become larger or more extensive" , "inflation" , "Make larger" , "Distend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Sun and The Telegraph.
