Hide dollars given by family (8)
I believe the answer is:
buckskin
'hide' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'dollars given by family' is the wordplay.
'dollars' becomes 'bucks' ('buck' can be a synonym of 'dollar').
'given by' says to put letters next to each other.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'bucks'+'kin'='BUCKSKIN'
(Other definitions for buckskin that I've seen before include "horse" , "Soft leather or wool fabric" , "Type of leather" , "Soft, yellowish suede leather" .)
