Parent, merely one among many (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dad

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

'parent' is the definition.
(dad can informally mean father)

'merely one among many' is the wordplay.
'merely one' becomes 'da' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'among' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'many' becomes 'D' (Roman numeral for 500).
'da'+'d'='DAD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dad that I've seen before include "Mum's mate" , "Popular and informal father" , "Father, in short" , "Old man" , "Pa" .)
