Signifies — money (5)
I believe the answer is:
means
This clue is a double definition.
'signifies' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'signify')
'money' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "Ways" , "Averages" , "sufficient funds" , "Money - is significant" , "Method - financial resources" .)
