A few part with a pound (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

several

'a few' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part with a pound' is the wordplay.
'part' becomes 'sever' (severing is a kind of parting**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pound' becomes 'l'.
'sever'+'a'+'l'='SEVERAL'

(Other definitions for several that I've seen before include "A few; separate" , "quite a lot" , "A good few" , "Various, sundry" , "Indefinite number more than two or three, but not many" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
