Eve and Adam finally ran into someone doing the Eden Project? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emmet

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

'someone doing the eden project?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eve and adam finally ran into' is the wordplay.
'eve' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'ran into' becomes 'met' (run into can mean to meet or encounter).
The last letter of 'adam' is 'm'.
'e'+'m'+'met'='EMMET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emmet that I've seen before include "Irish nationalist, Robert (1778-1803)" , "Old name for an ant" , "tourist in Cornwall" , "Bookies' sign language" , "one holidaying in Cornwall" .)
