Walk round English comprehensive mostly exuding calm (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peaceful

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

'calm' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'walk round english comprehensive mostly exuding' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'walk' could be 'pace' (pacing is a kind of walking) and 'pace' is found in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'ful' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
