The blogger on fifteensquared - Eileen today - has explained that EXCESSIVE contains XC (so "somewhat"), which is ninety in Roman numerals.

ChrisE, thanks. I was proud of that answer - mainly because it took me ages to see it! I was completely baffled for quite a time.

Hello, Nelson.
It is definitely "ninety", although "mighty" would mean much the same.

Malone, you are right to be proud, well spotted.
For me, it's not a top clue though, as Roman numerals are uppercase.

Thanks, Lu.men. Yes, it wasn't that great a clue - but I was relieved that it was answerable (after a fashion)!
