Man, perhaps, is 50+? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

island

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

'man perhaps' is the definition.
(Isle of Man is an example)

'is 50?' is the wordplay.
'50?' becomes 'land' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is'+'land'='ISLAND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for island that I've seen before include "Piece of land smaller than a continent" , "Tract surrounded by water" , "Eg, Crete" , "area adjacent to water" , "It could follow desert, coral, thousand or traffic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
