Happy lass finally touring in Africa and Asia, say (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

continents

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

'africa and asia say' is the definition.
(Africa and Asia are continents)

'happy lass finally touring in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'happy' could be 'content' (associated in meaning) and 'content' is located in the leftover letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
