Evenly repairing pocket (4)
I believe the answer is:
earn
'pocket' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'evenly repairing' is the wordplay.
'evenly' indicates alternate letters (the letters in even-numbered positions).
The alternating letters of 'repairing' are 'EARN'.
(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Deserve, gain" , "Acquire by ones' effort" , "Get (money) for work or labour" , "Warrant" , "Merit (a reward)" .)
