Have high hopes for settlement in Persia (6)
I believe the answer is:
aspire
'have high hopes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'settlement in persia' is the wordplay.
'persia' can be anagrammed to 'ASPIRE'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Have a strong desire to reach an objective" , "Persia (anag.)" , "Hope (to do something)" , "Yearn, dream (towards)" , "Hope (to achieve)" .)
