'makes more of' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'general's new order' is the wordplay.
'new order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'generals' with letters rearranged gives 'ENLARGES'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enlarges that I've seen before include "Widens" , "Generals (anag.)" .)
