surfeit

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

'in excess' is the definition.
'surfeit' can be an answer for 'excess' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'in' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for surfeit that I've seen before include "stuff, once" , "Fustier (anag)" , "excessive amount" , "Overindulgence" , "it's more than one needs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
