Crossword Genius

Match of immense quality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

equal

'match' is the definition.
(I know that match can be written as equal)

'of immense quality' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'EQUAL' is hidden within 'immense quality'.

(Other definitions for equal that I've seen before include "Identical, add up to" , "Be as good as, match" , "Peer; evenly balanced" , "Match, rival" , "Like revolting farm animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
