Receive a share of the budget (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get

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

'receive' is the definition.
(I know that receive can be written as get)

'a share of the budget' is the wordplay.
'GET' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for get that I've seen before include "Acquire" , "Understand" , "Receive; obtain" , "Procure from vegetables" , "Procure or secure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
