pastime

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'his hobby' is the definition.
'pastime' can be an answer for 'hobby' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'his' bit.

'dad's got time' is the wordplay.
'dad's' becomes 'pa's' ('pa' can be a synonym of 'dad').
'got' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pas'+'time'='PASTIME'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
