Utter genuine old currency (4)
I believe the answer is:
real
This clue is a quadruple definition!!
'utter' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'genuine' is the second definition.
(associated in meaning)
'old' is the third definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'currency' is the fourth definition.
(real is a kind of currency)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for real that I've seen before include "Actual; Brazilian currency" , "Actual; coin" , "Certainly no counterfeit" , "Substantial" , "Actual, not imagined" .)
