Get the message and cash in assets (7)
I believe the answer is:
realise
This clue could be a double definition.
'get the message' is the first definition.
'realise' can be an answer for 'get' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'the message' bit.
'cash in assets' is the second definition.
'realise' can be an answer for 'cash' ('cash'->'realize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise'). I'm not certain of the 'in assets' bit.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for realise that I've seen before include "Bring to fruition" , "Accomplish; see rail (anag.)" , "Become aware of; fulfil (S, not Z)" , "Cotton on" , "work out" .)
