Generously putting some latitude in nearby (10)

I believe the answer is:

handsomely

'generously' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some latitude in nearby' is the wordplay.
'latitude' becomes 'L' (abbreviation for latitude).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nearby' becomes 'handy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'some'+'l'='somel'
'somel' going inside 'handy' is 'HANDSOMELY'.

'putting' is the link.

(Another definition for handsomely that I've seen is " Amply, generously".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
