Crossword Genius

Busted out of dough (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broke

I believe this is a double definition.

'busted' is the first definition.
('break' can be a synonym of 'bust')

'out of dough' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for broke that I've seen before include "With completely empty pockets" , "Smashed; penniless" , "Ordinal number" , "Shattered" , "Skint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
