Crossword Genius

She's in the pool (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitty

This clue is a double definition.

'she's' is the first definition.

'pool' is the second definition.
(both can mean a shared fund)

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kitty that I've seen before include "Cat; fund of money" , "Pool - puss" , "Pool - 4 down" , "Pool - Katharina?" , "potential winnings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
