Consider secret plan to conceal some money (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respect

'consider' is the definition.
(I know that respect is a more specific form of the action consider)

'secret plan to conceal some money' is the wordplay.
'plan' indicates anagramming the letters (plan can mean organise).
'to conceal' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'some money' becomes 'p'.
'secret' anagrammed gives 'resect'.
'resect' enclosing 'p' is 'RESPECT'.

(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Show honour to" , "Look up to" , "Refuse to offend" , "to abide by" , "Avoid offending" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
