Even left a woman money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

level

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'even' is the definition.
(I know that even can be written as level)

'left a woman money' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'woman' could be 'eve' (Eve is an example) and 'eve' is found in the answer.
'money' could be 'l' (L can mean 'pounds') and 'l' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for level that I've seen before include "Staying at same height" , "On equal terms" , "Flat and smooth" , "Experience an evening out" , "Neck and neck" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
