What might be a triple-X image, say (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exempli gratia

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

'say' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'what might be a triple-x image' is the wordplay.
'what might be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'triple'+'x'+'image'='atripleximage'
'atripleximage' is an anagram of 'EXEMPLI GRATIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exempli gratia that I've seen before include "In full, eg" , "for example?" , "For instance" .)
