Intends to have the wherewithal (5)
I believe the answer is:
means
This clue is a double definition.
'intends' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend')
'the wherewithal' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to have' is the link.
(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "plans" , "Resources or money to support oneself" , "unpopular test" , "has significance" , "Indicates" .)
