intend

'aim' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'i am inclined to welcome new' is the wordplay.
'am inclined' becomes 'tend' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to welcome' is an insertion indicator (in sense of 'inviting in').
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'i'+'tend'='itend'
'itend' going around 'n' is 'INTEND'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intend that I've seen before include "Mean; propose" , "Have as purpose or resolve" , "Have as purpose or in mind" , "Have as one's plan" , "Aim, plan" .)
