Money, by the sound of it, in a hidden store (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cache

'a hidden store' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'money by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'cash' sounds like 'CACHE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for cache that I've seen before include "Hiding place for treasure or store" , "Secret source" , "Nest egg" , "Stockpile" , "Put away" .)
