Great numbers make a roll hop (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abundance

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

'great numbers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'a roll hop' is the wordplay.
'roll' becomes 'bun' (synonyms).
'hop' becomes 'dance' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'bun'+'dance'='ABUNDANCE'

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abundance that I've seen before include "fullness" , "Plenty, profusion" , "Large amount, sometimes more than is needed" , "State of plenty" , "'Plenty, loads (9)'" .)

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