Huge mountain woman tempted others (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

everest

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

'huge mountain' is the definition.
'Everest' can be an answer for 'mountain' (Mount Everest). I'm not certain of the 'huge' bit.

'woman tempted others' is the wordplay.
'woman tempted' becomes 'eve'.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eve'+'rest'='EVEREST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for everest that I've seen before include "Himalyan peak" , "Where Hillary was" , "Himalayan peak" , "The highest mountain of all (7)" , "Tallest mountain ..." .)
