Contribution to church - some expect it here (5)
I believe the answer is:
tithe
'contribution' is the definition.
(I know that tithe is a type of offering)
'some expect it here' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'TITHE' can be found hidden inside 'expect it here'.
'to church' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tithe that I've seen before include "Levy by church, e.g." , "Tenth (of one's earnings)" , "church funding" , "Tenth part paid to a church" , "Tenth part (as tribute)" .)
