Pouring in in a state of change (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

influx

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

'pouring' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'in a state of change' is the wordplay.
'a state of change' becomes 'flux' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in'+'flux'='INFLUX'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for influx that I've seen before include "Continual stream of people" , "Continual inflow" , "Arrival en masse" , "A flowing in of people" , "Entry of large numbers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
