Chuck's said to give her pounds (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hurl

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

'chuck's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'said to give her pounds' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pounds' could be 'l' (L can represent the monetary pound) and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hurl that I've seen before include "Launch" , "Throw forcibly" , "Throw forcefully" , "Play with a sliotar" , "Throw violently" .)
