Amount — portion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quantum

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'amount' is the first definition.
(I know that quantum is a type of amount)

'portion' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for quantum that I've seen before include "Type of mechanics, jump or leap" , "Specific amount - type of mechanics" , "Amount - measure" , "... of Solace, James Bond film" , "Smallest possible amount (eg of energy) - large and sudden" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
