With hindsight, murkier culture helped them hide money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lucre

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

'money' is the definition.
(I know that lucre is a type of money)

'with hindsight murkier culture helped them hide' is the wordplay.
'LUCRE' is hidden backwards within the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lucre that I've seen before include "Bread, dough, lolly" , "(Filthy) profit" , "tin" , "Money or wealth" , "Money (especially when gained dishonourably)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
