Celebrity sprouted arms in different places (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superstardom

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

'celebrity' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'sprouted arms in different places' is the wordplay.
'in different places' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'sprouted'+'arms'='sproutedarms'
'sproutedarms' anagrammed gives 'SUPERSTARDOM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for superstardom that I've seen before include "Position of great fame" , "Realm of A-list celebrity?" , "Immense fame" .)
