Tremendous lovers I zealously embraced (8)

I believe the answer is:

oversize

'tremendous' is the definition.

'lovers i zealously embraced' is the wordplay.
'embraced' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'OVERSIZE' is hidden within 'lovers i zealously'.

(Other definitions for oversize that I've seen before include "too big" , "Bigger than usual" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
