Hide money given to relations (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buckskin

'hide' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'money given to relations' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bucks' (I've seen this before).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'relations' becomes 'kin' (I've seen this before).
'bucks'+'kin'='BUCKSKIN'

(Other definitions for buckskin that I've seen before include "Soft, yellowish suede leather" , "Type of leather" , "horse" , "Soft leather or wool fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
