Generous males providing a lot of money (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
big bucks
'money' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Much money ' mean 'big bucks' so perhaps 'money' could also mean 'big bucks')
'generous males providing a lot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'generous' could be 'big' (similar in meaning) and 'big' is located in the answer.
'lot' could be 'c' and 'c' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for big bucks that I've seen before include "Much money" , "Lots of money" .)
