Crossword Genius

Seer will utterly make money! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prophet

'seer' is the definition.
(I know that prophet is a type of diviner)

'utterly make money' is the wordplay.
'utterly' shows a homophone (sound like) (as uttered).
'make money' becomes 'profit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'profit' is a homophone of 'PROPHET'.

'will' is the link.

(Other definitions for prophet that I've seen before include "One speaks by divine inspiration" , "Moses, for example" , "Divine spokesman or forecaster" , "Soothsayer" , "One who anticipates" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
