English aura is spread around a huge landmass (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eurasia

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

'a huge landmass' is the definition.
'Eurasia' can be an answer for 'landmass' (Eurasia is an example). I am unsure of the 'a huge' bit.

'english aura is spread' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'spread' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aura'+'is'='aurais'
'aurais' is an anagram of 'urasia'.
'e'+'urasia'='EURASIA'

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eurasia that I've seen before include "Large landmass combining two continents" , "Large northern hemisphere land mass" , "Land mass - use aria (anag)" , "Turkey, and so on" , "Continental land mass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
