Immigrants allowance? (5)
I believe the answer is:
grant
'allowance?' is the definition.
(both can mean money given to someone)
'immigrants' is the wordplay.
'GRANT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grant that I've seen before include "Give or allow as a privilege" , "Cary, Duncan or Ulysses S?" , "US president" , "Greek, a soldier" , "Monetary aid" .)
