Crossword Genius

One hundred remaining to be split (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleft

'be split' is the definition.
(cleft can mean split or cloven)

'one hundred remaining' is the wordplay.
'one hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'remaining' becomes 'left' (synonyms).
'c'+'left'='CLEFT'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for cleft that I've seen before include "Split or indentation" , "Chin split" , "Narrow gap" , "Opening, fissure" , "Narrow opening" .)
