At end of term like to have time in country (5)
I believe the answer is:
malta
'country' is the definition.
(Malta is an example)
'at end of term like to have time' is the wordplay.
'at end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'like' becomes 'ala' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to have' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
The last letter of 'term' is 'm'.
'ala' placed around 't' is 'alta'.
'm'+'alta'='MALTA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for malta that I've seen before include "Mediterranean island state" , "GC island" , "A Med. island" , "The capital is Valetta" , "defiant island in WW2" .)
