Crossword Genius

Concerning the origins of the wealth (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resources

'the wealth' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'concerning the origins' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're'.
'the origins' becomes 'sources' (source is a kind of origin**).
're'+'sources'='RESOURCES'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for resources that I've seen before include "capital!" , "country's means of defence" , "funds" , "Teaching materials" , "Available reserve supplies" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
