Reckon to make a hundred on the side - right? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consider

'reckon' is the definition.
(I know that reckon is a more specific form of the action consider)

'a hundred on the side right?' is the wordplay.
'a hundred' becomes 'C' (Roman numeral).
'right?' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'c'+'on'+'side'+'r'='CONSIDER'

'to make' is the link.

(Other definitions for consider that I've seen before include "Attend to" , "Think about, reflect upon" , "Look at someone or something thoughtfully" , "Take into account" , "Cogitate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
