The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
Rake is the definition, meaning a dissolute person. The wordplay takes REBATE (money returned) and inserts PRO (a sex worker) into it, giving RE-PRO-BATE. The words 'to pick up' signal the insertion, wrapping the sex worker inside the rebate.
