Pay to carry on (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wage

I believe this is a double definition.

'pay' is the first definition.
(I know that pay can be written as wage)

'carry on' is the second definition.
(as in waging war)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wage that I've seen before include "Money earned" , "Carry on - remuneration" , "Regular payment for work" , "Money paid to worker" , "Amount earned" .)
