'grant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'money at last' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'last' becomes 'end'.
'l'+'end'='LEND'

Can you help me to learn more?
