some

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

'still a part to come' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'thus at half time' is the wordplay.
'thus' becomes 'so' (synonyms).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'time' with half the letters taken is 'me'.
'so'+'me'='SOME'

'there's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for some that I've seen before include "An undetermined number" , "Several" , "A little; not a little" , "Part" , "An unspecified quantity, not all" .)
