Knowing means to make grand entrance? (7)

I believe the answer is:

archway

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

'grand entrance?' is the definition.
'archway' can be an answer for 'entrance?' (archway is a kind of entrance). I am not sure about the 'grand' bit.

'knowing means' is the wordplay.
'knowing' becomes 'arch' (I've seen this before).
'means' becomes 'way' (a way or means of doing something).
'arch'+'way'='ARCHWAY'

'to make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for archway that I've seen before include "part of London" , "Vaulted entrance; London tube station" , "Entrance structure" , "entrance, perhaps" , "Curved entrance" .)

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