Stacks after a little rabbit hop (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abundance

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

'stacks' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'after a little rabbit hop' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'little rabbit' becomes 'bun' (I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'hop' becomes 'dance' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'bun' is 'abun'.
'abun'+'dance'='ABUNDANCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abundance that I've seen before include "A good deal" , "Plenty, profusion" , "Large amount, sometimes more than is needed" , "Ample sufficiency or great plenty." , "Host" .)
