About the origins of the money (9)
I believe the answer is:
resources
'the money' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'about the origins' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'the origins' becomes 'sources' (source is a kind of origin**).
're'+'sources'='RESOURCES'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for resources that I've seen before include "Useful materials, assets" , "Teaching materials" , "Personal attributes" , "funds" , "country's means of defence" .)
