Imbue with money at court (5)

I believe the answer is:

tinct

'imbue' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'money at court' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'tin'+'ct'='TINCT'

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for tinct that I've seen is " Tinge".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
