Man who is engaged about the end of the session to provide the wherewithal (7)
I believe the answer is:
finance
'the wherewithal' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'man who is engaged about the end of the session' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'fin' and 'fin' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ane' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to provide' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for finance that I've seen before include "Fund" , "Money affairs" , "Supply funds" , "Provide funds for" , "Money management" .)
