taxi

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

'get ready to take flight with what's bound to concern' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'revenue from island' is the wordplay.
'revenue' becomes 'tax' ('tax revenue' can be a synonym of 'revenue').
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'island' becomes 'i'.
'tax'+'i'='TAXI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taxi that I've seen before include "run along the ground" , "Cab for hire" , "move slowly along the ground" , "Vehicle that plies for hire" , "type of vehicle" .)
