'largish figure' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'last of french and german wine' is the wordplay.
'last of' says to take the final letters.
'and german' becomes 'und' ('and' in German).
'wine' becomes 'red wine' (red is a type of wine).
The final letter of 'french' is 'h'.
'h'+'und'+'red'='HUNDRED'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hundred that I've seen before include "Old part of county" , "Five score" , "Ten squared" , "Historical division of a county - number" , "Former division of county" .)
