Salary? Spend it freely (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stipend

'salary?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'spend it freely' is the wordplay.
'freely' indicates an anagram.
'spend'+'it'='spendit'
'spendit' with letters rearranged gives 'STIPEND'.

(Other definitions for stipend that I've seen before include "Official income of Protestant clergyman" , "Regular money" , "Clerical salary" , "Sum of money" , "Remuneration" .)
