Land and fit rear arm anew (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terra firma

'land' is the definition.
('terra firma' can be a synonym of 'land')

'fit rear arm anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fit'+'rear'+'arm'='fitreararm'
'fitreararm' is an anagram of 'TERRA-FIRMA'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for terra firma that I've seen before include "Solid earth - dry land" , "Solid earth (Latin)" , "Solid ground" , "Hard ground" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
