Crossword Genius

Reportedly hoard money (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cash

'money' is the definition.
(cash is a type of money)

'reportedly hoard' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'hoard' becomes 'cache' (synonyms).
'cache' sounds like 'CASH'.

(Other definitions for cash that I've seen before include "Money in the form of notes and coins" , "Ready money" , "Spondulicks" , "Singer Johnny, d. 2003" , "bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
