Lots and lots

Answer:

ATON

Hint:

Think of a word that means "a great number" and sounds like it could be part of a heavy measurement unit.

Explanation:

The clue "Lots and lots" hints at the word "aton," which is a play on "a ton"—a common phrase meaning a large quantity. Here, "a ton" is split into "a" and "ton," with "a" dropped in the answer to leave just "ton." It’s a clever way to turn a familiar expression into a concise crossword solution.
