A recipe for money

A receipt is a written or printed acknowledgement usually for money but could be for goods or services, or of the actual receiving of something, i.e. I am in receipt of your receipt for the money I sent you.
However, it is an archaic form of the cookery word recipe. Receipt is still sometimes used instead of the word recipe in the USA, but is falling out of use.
