Loot forming part of a burglar's wages? (4)
I believe the answer is:
swag
'loot' is the definition.
(I know that loot can be written as swag)
'part of a burglar's wages?' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SWAG' can be found hidden inside 'burglars wages'.
'forming' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for swag that I've seen before include "Goods taken by burglar" , "Booty, loot" , "Burglar's booty" , "Ill-gotten gains" , "Burglar's haul" .)
