A padre is troubled about proceeds initially getting to vanish (9)
I believe the answer is:
disappear
'vanish' is the definition.
('disappear' can be a synonym of 'vanish')
'a padre is troubled about proceeds initially' is the wordplay.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'proceeds' is 'p'.
'a'+'padre'+'is'='apadreis'
'apadreis' anagrammed gives 'disapear'.
'disapear' placed around 'p' is 'DISAPPEAR'.
'getting to' is the link.
(Other definitions for disappear that I've seen before include "Melt away" , "Vanish, cease to be visible" , "go by the board" , "Fly" , "Get lost" .)
