outgoings

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

'expenses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for outgoings that I've seen before include "Expenses" , "expeditions" , "Regular expenditure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
