Names new source of funds (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

means

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'source of funds' is the definition.
'means' can be an answer for 'funds' (I have seen 'sufficient funds' mean 'means' so perhaps 'funds' could also mean 'means'). I am unsure of the 'source of' bit.

'names new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'names' is an anagram of 'MEANS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "Money - is significant" , "Intends; income" , "Available resources" , "Resources or money to support oneself" , "With which an end is achieved" .)
