More than a little, we gather (5)
I believe the answer is:
amass
'gather' is the definition.
('amass' can be a synonym of 'gather')
'more than a little we' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'more' could be 'm' and 'm' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ass' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amass that I've seen before include "Gather together, pile up" , "Put together" , "Build up" , "Sodium chloride" , "Gather in great quantity" .)
