Spain and Thailand create problem, with some others (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

et cetera

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

'some others' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'spain and thailand create problem' is the wordplay.
'spain' becomes 'e' (abbreviation for Espana).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'thailand' becomes 'T' (abbreviation on car registration plates).
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'create' with letters rearranged gives 'cetera'.
'e'+'t'+'cetera'='ET CETERA'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for et cetera that I've seen before include "and the like" , "Drive out, expel" , "that reduces length of sentence" , "That can reduce length of sentence" , "And the rest (Latin)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
