Getting each way with no problem (4)

I believe the answer is:

ease

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

'getting' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'each way with no problem' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'way' becomes 's' (Compass direction - South).
'with no problem' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ea'+'s'+'e'='EASE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ease that I've seen before include "Free from pain" , "Lack of difficulty" , "Rest and leisure" , "Absence of hardship" , "composure" .)
