See Liz in turmoil about rating, it's fairly large (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sizeable

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

'fairly large' is the definition.
'sizeable' can be an answer for 'large' (similar in meaning). I am not certain of the 'fairly' bit.

'see liz in turmoil about rating' is the wordplay.
'in turmoil' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'rating' becomes 'ab' (both can mean a sailor).
'see'+'liz'='seeliz'
'seeliz' anagrammed gives 'sizele'.
'sizele' placed around 'ab' is 'SIZEABLE'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sizeable that I've seen before include "Largish" , "Large" .)
