Person who gets paid cash advance (8)
I believe the answer is:
propound
'paid cash advance' is the definition.
'propound' can be an answer for 'advance' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'paid cash' bit.
'person who' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'pro' (pro is a kind of person).
'who' becomes 'pound' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pro'+'pound'='PROPOUND'
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for propound that I've seen before include "Argue for (idea)" , "move?" , "What Eurosceptics are" , "Suggest for consideration" , "Put the case" .)
