Gifted, but finish with nothing and get married (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endowed

'gifted' is the definition.
(endowing is a kind of gifting)

'finish with nothing and get married' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'finish').
'with nothing' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'get married' becomes 'wed' ('wed' can be a synonym of 'get married').
'end'+'o'+'wed'='ENDOWED'

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for endowed that I've seen before include "Bequeathed income to" , "Invested" , "Provided with permanent income or ability" , "Given a permanent income" , "given a portion?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
