'resent leaving general store in large numbers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'resent leaving general store in' is the wordplay.
'leaving' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'general' going inside 'store' is 'stgeneralore'.
'stgeneralore' with 'resent' taken out is 'GALORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
