Chapter containing a great deal of material (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cloth

'material' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'chapter containing a great deal' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'ch'.
'containing' is an insertion indicator.
'a great deal' becomes 'lot' (both can mean a large amount).
'ch' going around 'lot' is 'CLOTH'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for cloth that I've seen before include "Textiles" , "Sails" , "rag" , "Woven material" , "Fabric, textile" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
