offer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indicate one's willingness to remove the top' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'from the moneybox' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'off' (eg someone might be from or 'off' a TV show).
'the moneybox' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'off'+'er'='OFFER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for offer that I've seen before include "Tender for acceptance" , "Make available for sale" , "Proposal (of marriage)" , "Suggest" , "Tender, volunteer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
