Coach trip's beginning with no money (4)
I believe the answer is:
bust
'no money' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'coach trip's beginning' is the wordplay.
'coach' becomes 'bus' (synonyms).
'beginning' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'trips' is 't'.
'bus'+'t'='BUST'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bust that I've seen before include "Work of art" , "Portrait - broken" , "Broken - bankrupt - sculpture" , "Break" , "Houdon's Voltaire" .)
