Drill for gold and be about to get it (4)
I believe the answer is:
bore
'drill' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'gold and be about to get it' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'be about' becomes 'b' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'or' put after 'b' is 'bor'.
'bor'+'e'='BORE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bore that I've seen before include "Drill - pest" , "hole > not something of interest" , "A tedious long-winded person" , "... endured" , "Drill or be tedious" .)
