Ross

I believe the answer is:

extent

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

'range' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from temporary home' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'ex' ('from' in Latin).
'temporary home' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ex'+'tent'='EXTENT'

'sold' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extent that I've seen before include "Scope, area" , "Range or scope of something" , "Degree or spread" , "Area something covers" , "Compass, scope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
