I believe the answer is:
expense
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">monetary outlay</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for expense that I've seen before include "What something costs" , "Disbursement" , "damage" , "Cost - price" , "Outlay or cost" .)
