Crossword Genius

Wonderful to expand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swell

I believe this is a double definition.

'wonderful' is the first definition.
(swell can mean excellent)

'expand' is the second definition.
(I know that swell is a more specific form of the action expand)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for swell that I've seen before include "Man of high social standing" , "Grand" , "Distend" , "Enlargement when liquid accumulates" , "Dilate - jolly good!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
