Conventional way to keep home (7)
I believe the answer is:
routine
'conventional' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'way to keep home' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'keep' becomes 'rout' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'rout'+'in'='routin'
'e' after 'routin' is 'ROUTINE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for routine that I've seen before include "Monotonous" , "Fixed programme" , "Method" , "boring" , "Customary" .)
