Gave funds due after death (7)
I believe the answer is:
endowed
'gave funds' is the definition.
'endowed' can be an answer for 'gave' (endowing is a kind of giving). I'm not certain of the 'funds' bit.
'due after death' is the wordplay.
'due' becomes 'owed' (synonyms).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'death' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'owed' after 'end' is 'ENDOWED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endowed that I've seen before include "Given, bequeathed" , "Invested" , "Provided with money or qualities" , "Bequeathed income to" , "Given a permanent income" .)
