Monies distributed, including record coinage (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neologism

'coinage' is the definition.
('neologism' can be a synonym of 'coinage')

'monies distributed including record' is the wordplay.
'distributed' indicates an anagram.
'including' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'record' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of recording).
'monies' with letters rearranged gives 'neoism'.
'neoism' going around 'log' is 'NEOLOGISM'.

(Other definitions for neologism that I've seen before include "Brexit maybe" , "new term" , "New word or phrase" , "Newly coined word" , "coinage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
