Home cared for fiancé (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intended

'fiance' is the definition.
(someone's intended is their fiance)

'home cared for' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'cared for' becomes 'tended' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in'+'tended'='INTENDED'

(Other definitions for intended that I've seen before include "wanted from the outset" , "Person engaged" , "Informally one's fiance or fiancee" , "Deliberate" , "Set out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
