Money, we hear, for a female deer (3)
I believe the answer is:
doe
'a female deer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'money we hear' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'dough' (dough can informally mean money).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'dough' sounds like 'DOE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for doe that I've seen before include "Animal" , "Mummy rabbit" , "She eats vegetarian food" , "Female kangaroo" , "Feminine counterpart of stag" .)
