Reduced share of the profits (3)
I believe the answer is:
cut
This clue is a double definition.
'reduced' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'share of the profits' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "saving" , "Reduce; joint (of meat)" , "Shorten; remove" , "Stop shooting!" , "Fail to attend" .)
