ego

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sort of trip' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'english travel' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'e'+'go'='EGO'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ego that I've seen before include "Personal pride" , "Vowel to disappear, < say another" , "(Self-assertive) personality" , "Self-confidence" , "Self-esteem, conceit" .)
