The craze for cash in the case of a minor injury (4)
I believe the answer is:
cult
'the craze' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'cash in the case of a minor injury' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cash' could be 'l' (The pound sterling symbol is an elaborate L) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'injury' could be 'cut' (cut is a kind of injury) and 'cut' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cult that I've seen before include "Esoteric religion" , "Narrow religious sect" , "Strange religious group" , "Group with system of formal worship" , "Extremist religion" .)
