Head away from discos etc to make an effort for one's family (8)
I believe the answer is:
ancestry
'head away from discos etc to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'an effort for one's family' is the wordplay.
'effort' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'one's family' becomes 'ces' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'try' put after 'ces' is 'cestry'.
'an'+'cestry'='ANCESTRY'
'make' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ancestry that I've seen before include "Line of forebears" , "Line of descendants" , "Genealogy" , "Person's ethnic descent" , "Any crest (anag.)" .)
