Stop case being sent around England (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cease

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

'stop' is the definition.
(I know that stop can be written as cease)

'case being sent around england' is the wordplay.
'being sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'around england' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about the 'around' bit.).
'case' with letters rearranged gives 'ceas'.
'ceas'+'e'='CEASE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cease that I've seen before include "Finish, end" , "Political group" , "Stop, give over" , "Stop, terminate" , "Culminate" .)
