recover

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

'rally for which there' is the definition.
'recover' can be an answer for 'rally' (rally can mean to recover from illness). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'about a hundred too many' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'a hundred' becomes 'C' (Roman numerals).
'too many' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
're'+'c'+'over'='RECOVER'

'are' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recover that I've seen before include "Recuperate" , "Rescue" , "comeback" , "Regain" , "Bring back" .)
