Friend joins expert in grand house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palace

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

'grand house' is the definition.
'palace' can be an answer for 'house' (palace is a kind of house). I'm not sure about the 'grand' bit.

'friend joins expert' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal can mean a friend).
'joins' says to put letters next to each other.
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'pal'+'ace'='PALACE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Regal mansion" , "Home fit for a king" , "Sovereign's residence" , "Royal building" , "Large building" .)
