Does long journey finally and gets paid (6)
I believe the answer is:
yearns
'does long' is the definition.
('yearn' can be a synonym of 'long')
'journey finally and gets paid' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gets paid' becomes 'earns' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The last letter of 'journey' is 'y'.
'y'+'earns'='YEARNS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yearns that I've seen before include "'Craves, longs for (6)'" , "Desires strongly" , "'Hankers, longs (6)'" , "Longs for, pines" , "Craves, longs intensely" .)
