Finances put a stop to audible suffering? (6)
I believe the answer is:
endows
'finances' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a stop to audible suffering?' is the wordplay.
'a stop' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to audible suffering?' becomes 'ows' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'end'+'ows'='ENDOWS'
'put' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endows that I've seen before include "Wed son (anag.)" , "Establishes (post/prize) by donating funds" , "Gifts (verb)" , "Snowed (anag.)" , "Provides a source of income for" .)
