Charge making sense with pound discounted at the end (3)
I believe the answer is:
fee
'charge' is the definition.
(fee is a kind of charge)
'at the end' is the wordplay.
'at' becomes 'fe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'end' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'fe'+'e'='FEE'
'making sense with pound discounted' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Cost" , "Amount paid for job" , "(Entry) charge" , "Money paid for professional services" , "Charge for professional services" .)
