'is expanding' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'glaring wildly after finding space' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finding space' becomes 'en' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'glaring' is an anagram of 'larging'.
'larging' put after 'en' is 'ENLARGING'.
