Crossword Genius

Totalled a large amount (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slew

This clue is a double definition.

'totalled' is the first definition.
(past tense of 'slay')

'a large amount' is the second definition.
(slew can mean a large amount of something)

(Other definitions for slew that I've seen before include "Killed - a lot" , "Change direction abruptly" , "making sharp turn" , "twisted position" , "skid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
