Number of abstentions (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ten

'number' is the definition.
(ten is a number)

'of abstentions' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TEN' is hidden within 'abstentions'.

(Other definitions for ten that I've seen before include "time" , "Base of decimal system" , "Cardinal number" , "X-WORD" , "PM's address, Downing St" .)
