Try a sure way to get to where the money is (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasury

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where the money is' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'try a sure way to get' is the wordplay.
'way' is an anagram indicator (another way of arranging the letters).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'a'+'sure'='asure'
'asure' is an anagram of 'reasu'.
'try' placed around 'reasu' is 'TREASURY'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
