Billions, when you shouldn't have enough! (5)
I believe the answer is:
basta
'enough' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'billions when you shouldn't have' is the wordplay.
'billions' becomes 'b' (abbreviation).
'when' becomes 'as' (eg 'when I walked' means 'as I walked').
'you shouldn't have' becomes 'ta' (both can mean 'thank you').
'b'+'as'+'ta'='BASTA'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
