Money, including hesitation, can produce relevance (10)
I believe the answer is:
pertinence
'relevance' is the definition.
(I know that pertinence is a type of relevance)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pertinence that I've seen before include "Relevance" , "fitness" , "to the point" , "Applicability" .)
