Profit or money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lucre

This clue is a double definition.

'profit' is the first definition.
(I know that profit can be written as lucre)

'money' is the second definition.
(I know that lucre is a type of money)

(Other definitions for lucre that I've seen before include "Money (especially when gained dishonourably)" , "There's money" , "Money or wealth" , "ill-gotten gain" , "Sordid gain; riches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
