Europe perhaps able to control movement (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

continent

This clue is a double definition.

'europe perhaps' is the first definition.
(Europe is a continent)

'able to control movement' is the second definition.
(ie able to control one's bowel movements)

(Other definitions for continent that I've seen before include "Maybe more than one country" , "Africa, say" , "Large land mass - exercising self-restraint" , "Self-restrained" , "Africa, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
