Inducement I have to get in money first (9)
I believe the answer is:
incentive
'inducement' is the definition.
('incentive' can be a synonym of 'inducement')
'i have to get in money first' is the wordplay.
'i have' becomes 'ive'.
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'money' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this before**).
'first' says to put letters next to each other.
'in' put next to 'cent' is 'incent'.
'ive' after 'incent' is 'INCENTIVE'.
(Other definitions for incentive that I've seen before include "Motivational reward" , "Inducement" , "Payment to improve" , "encouragement" , "A motivation" .)
