Crossword Genius

Pocket purse (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pot

This clue is a double definition.

'pocket' is the first definition.
(as in to pot or pocket a ball in snooker)

'purse' is the second definition.
(both can mean a fund)

(Other definitions for pot that I've seen before include "Weed" , "Cooking utensil or illegal drug" , "Slangy cannabis" , "Street name for cannabis" , "Trophy; kitty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
