Set forth without money (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expound

'set forth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'without money' is the wordplay.
'without' becomes 'ex' (I've seen this in other clues).
'money' becomes 'pound' (I've seen this before**).
'ex'+'pound'='EXPOUND'

(Other definitions for expound that I've seen before include "Present and explain (a theory)" , "Spell out" , "Explain and interpret" , "Elucidate" , "Explain meaning in detail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
