She wants some more money (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moll

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

'she' is the definition.

'some more money' is the wordplay.
'some more' becomes 'mol' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'mol'+'l'='MOLL'

'wants' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moll that I've seen before include "Gangster's female companion" , "Gangster's girlfriend" , "Book by Defoe" , "Hood's girl" , "Gangster's girl" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
