Stain Antony twice discovered under the table (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blotto

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

'under the table' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stain antony twice' is the wordplay.
'stain' becomes 'blot' ('blot' can be a synonym of 'stain').
'antony twice' becomes 'to' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'blot'+'to'='BLOTTO'

'discovered' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blotto that I've seen before include "Wasted" , "Totally drunk" , "Slangily drunk - ready to bolt" , "Unconscious from drink" , "As one plastered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
