The average person from Spain -- exceedingly male! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

everyman

'the average person' is the definition.

'spain exceedingly male' is the wordplay.
'spain' becomes 'e' (abbreviation for Espana).
'exceedingly' becomes 'very' (I've seen this before).
'male' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of male).
'e'+'very'+'man'='EVERYMAN'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for everyman that I've seen before include "Mystery play character" , "Ordinary guy" , "A typical human being" , "Old morality play" , "Mr Average" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
