Vital cure could be moneymaking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lucrative

'moneymaking' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'vital cure could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates an anagram.
'vital'+'cure'='vitalcure'
'vitalcure' with letters rearranged gives 'LUCRATIVE'.

(Other definitions for lucrative that I've seen before include "Producing a sizeable profit" , "rewarding" , "Well-paid" , "Moneymaking" , "Making money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
