Determined to find cheap accommodation here? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intent

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

'determined' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cheap accommodation here?' is the wordplay.
'cheap accommodation' becomes 'int' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'here?' becomes 'ent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'int'+'ent'='INTENT'

'to find' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Keen" , "Bent on, determined to" , "Earnest, purpose" , "set" , "Design, aim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
