Amount that will suffice for a wise person (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dosage

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

'amount that will' is the definition.
'dosage' can be an answer for 'amount' (dosage is a kind of amount). I'm unsure of the rest of the definition.

'suffice for a wise person' is the wordplay.
'suffice' becomes 'do' (synonyms).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'a wise person' becomes 'sage' (sage can mean a wise or holy person).
'do'+'sage'='DOSAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dosage that I've seen before include "Correct use of a prescribed drug" , "Measured portion of medicine" , "Prescribed amount of drug" , "Giving of medicine in prescribed amount" , "Administered amount of drug" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
