We get a certain amount of warm clothing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wear

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

'clothing' is the definition.
(I know that clothing can be written as wear)

'we get a certain amount of warm' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'we' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'amount' could be 'r' (R is an example) and 'r' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wear that I've seen before include "Clothes; chafe" , "Northern runner" , "Have on the body as clothes or ornaments" , "Northern river - sport" , "Apparel" .)
