Cash in on the act? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exploit

I believe this is a double definition.

'cash in on' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the act?' is the second definition.
(exploit is a kind of act)

(Other definitions for exploit that I've seen before include "Make good or selfish use of" , "The deed to make gain from" , "Bunk" , "Feat; make use of" , "Make use of - great deed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
