Crossword Genius

See promotion offering lots (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

load

'lots' is the definition.

'see promotion' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic word meaning 'look!').
'promotion' becomes 'ad' (ad is a kind of promotion).
'lo'+'ad'='LOAD'

'offering' is the link.

(Other definitions for load that I've seen before include "Great quantity" , "Burden, onus" , "Weight, source of pressure" , "Cargo - burden" , "Goods carried by a large vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
