Tear about snaring badgers and more (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

et cetera

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

'more' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'tear about snaring badgers' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'snaring' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'badgers' becomes 'cete' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tear' anagrammed gives 'etra'.
'etra' going around 'cete' is 'ET CETERA'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for et cetera that I've seen before include "Including other similar items" , "and the others" , "that reduces length of sentence" , "Etc" , "and the like" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
