See timber in terms of finance (4)
I believe the answer is:
cash
'terms of finance' is the definition.
'cash' can be an answer for 'finance' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'terms of' bit.
'see timber' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'timber' becomes 'ash' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'ash'='CASH'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cash that I've seen before include "Singer Johnny, d. 2003" , "notes, perhaps?" , "bread" , "Brass" , "Hard currency" .)
