fee

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

'could it make' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'feel robbed of pounds?' is the wordplay.
'robbed of' suggests deleting specific letters.
'pounds?' becomes 'l' (abbreviation e.g. Lsd - pounds, shillings, pence).
'feel' with 'l' removed is 'FEE'.

'you' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Payment to a professional for services" , "Charge for professional services" , "Cost" , "price" , "Sum payable to, say, barrister" .)
