A large number (4)

I think it could be either:

host

many

'a large number' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for many that I've seen before include "Multitudinous" , "multitude" , "A great number" , "Several" , "Lots" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Evening Standard.
