Enduring word for hunger? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
long-term
'enduring' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'word for hunger?' is the wordplay.
'word' becomes 'term' (term is a kind of word).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'hunger?' becomes 'long' (both can mean to crave).
'term' put after 'long' is 'LONG-TERM'.
(Other definitions for long-term that I've seen before include "Not immediate" , "Over a great time" , "Enduring" , "Relating to a relatively extended period" .)
