Big-looking home, from the inside? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloo

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

'inside?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'big-looking home from' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'IGLOO' is hidden in the letters of 'big looking home'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Ice-block construction" , "An eskimo's ice-house" , "Home made of blocks of snow" , "A house up north" , "Inuit residence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
