Paying equally, tucked into elevenses (5)
I believe the answer is:
evens
'paying equally tucked' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'into elevenses' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EVENS' is hidden in the letters of 'elevenses'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evens that I've seen before include "Odds on something very likely to win" , "Level betting" , "Odds that win identical sum as the stake" , "Smooths the odds" , "50-50 chance" .)
