Female money mentioned (3)
I believe the answer is:
doe
'female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money mentioned' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'dough' (dough can informally mean money).
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'dough' is a homophone of 'DOE'.
(Other definitions for doe that I've seen before include "Animal" , "partner for a buck" , "female in the field?" , "Female hare" , "Feminine counterpart of stag" .)
