Cultivate for cash (4)
I believe the answer is:
till
'cultivate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for cash' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'til' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cash' becomes 'L' (The pound sterling symbol is an elaborate L).
'til'+'l'='TILL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for till that I've seen before include "Work the land for cultivation" , "Checkout - cultivate (land)" , "Farm - money drawer" , "Drawer holding money in shop." , "Money box" .)
