Fake: tiny chest with boobs (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

synthetic

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

'with boobs' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'fake tiny chest' is the wordplay.
'fake' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'tiny'+'chest'='tinychest'
'tinychest' anagrammed gives 'SYNTHETIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for synthetic that I've seen before include "Not genuine, unnatural" , "Artificially-made compound" , "Affected" , "Artificially produced" , "Not natural in origin" .)
