Claim a tureen allows what's inside to develop fully (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mature

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

'develop fully' is the definition.
'mature' can be an answer for 'develop' (maturing is a kind of developing). I am unsure of the 'fully' bit.

'claim a tureen allows what's inside' is the wordplay.
'what's inside' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MATURE' can be found hidden inside 'claim a tureen allows'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mature that I've seen before include "Fully developed physically" , "Age" , "Grown-up" , "of older years" , "Fully grown and adult" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
