I believe the answer is:
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">brings home</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for earns that I've seen before include "Works for pay" , "ready for work?" , "Grosses" , "Gains by labour" , "Makes - deserves (by one's efforts)" .)
