Endures travelling, and departs for Split (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sundered

'split' is the definition.

'endures travelling and departs' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'departs' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation e.g. train timetables).
'endures' anagrammed gives 'sundere'.
'sundere'+'d'='SUNDERED'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for sundered that I've seen before include "Torn apart, severed" , "Split apart" , "separated" , "rent" , "Broke apart or in two" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
