Amount left over (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surplus

This clue is a triple definition!

'amount' is the first definition.
(surplus is a kind of amount)

'left' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'over' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for surplus that I've seen before include "Superabundance" , "Surfeit" , "Amount left over" , "a bit over the top" , "balance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
