Plenty can get lost (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lots

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

'plenty' is the definition.
(lots of something)

'get lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' can be anagrammed to 'LOTS'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lots that I've seen before include "Many - items in a sale" , "Many found in slot" , "Units sold at auctions - plenty of them" , "Great quantities" , "a crowd?" .)
