Transcontinental region listed, made blurry (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

middle east

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

'transcontinental region' is the definition.
'Middle East' can be an answer for 'region' (Middle East is an example). I'm unsure of the 'transcontinental' bit.

'listed made blurry' is the wordplay.
'listed made' anagrams to 'MIDDLE EAST'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for middle east that I've seen is " Troubled zone".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
