Crossword Genius

Girl has developed, becoming quite big (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

largish

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

'quite big' is the definition.
'largish' can be an answer for 'big' (similar in meaning). I am unsure of the 'quite' bit.

'girl has developed' is the wordplay.
'developed' is an anagram indicator.
'girl'+'has'='girlhas'
'girlhas' with letters rearranged gives 'LARGISH'.

'becoming' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for largish that I've seen before include "sizeable proportions" , "Fairly big" , "quite generous" , "Of considerable extent" , "Somewhat hefty" .)
