Fate of some plotters (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lot

'fate' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'some plotters' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LOT' is hidden within 'plotters'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lot that I've seen before include "Large amount; Abraham's nephew" , "Much at auction" , "one whose wife should be remembered" , "Large amount - parcel of land" , "The French department" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
