Illicit gain from a sacking? (4)
I believe the answer is:
loot
This clue might be a double definition.
'illicit gain' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a sacking?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loot that I've seen before include "Tool found among plunder" , "Swag, booty" , "Burglar's takings - pillage" , "Stolen property" , "Prize" .)
