Priest moving east — for money? (3)
I believe the answer is:
lei
'money?' is the definition.
(plural of 'leu', Romanian currency)
'priest moving east' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'east' could be 'e' (synonyms) and 'e' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'li' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for lei that I've seen before include "Bloomers on line" , "Flowers worn round the neck" , "Garland of flowers in Hawaii" , "Necklace of tropical flowers" , "Hawaiian garland - Romanian money" .)
