End of plant in rake's way (5)
I believe the answer is:
route
'way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'end of plant in rake's' is the wordplay.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rake' becomes 'roue' ('roue' can be a synonym of 'rake').
The final letter of 'plant' is 't'.
't' going inside 'roue' is 'ROUTE'.
(Other definitions for route that I've seen before include "Way travelled" , "Course, road" , "Established line of trave" , "Course, path" , "Way to travel" .)
