I believe the answer is:

profit

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

'gain' is the definition.
(I know that gain can be written as profit)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for profit that I've seen before include "Use" , "Net gain after expenses" , "Money made" , "returns" , "Surplus earnings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
