Compiler coming into money: bond (6)
I believe the answer is:
cement
'bond' is the definition.
(cement can mean to stick or bond)
'compiler coming into money' is the wordplay.
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'coming into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'me' put within 'cent' is 'CEMENT'.
(Other definitions for cement that I've seen before include "Material used for dental fixings" , "Stick together - substance used by a builder" , "Mortar; strengthen" , "It hardens when water is added" , "It hardens when wetted" .)
