Install gong, terribly durable (4-7)
I believe the answer is:
long-lasting
'durable' is the definition.
(I know that durable can be written as long-lasting)
'install gong terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'install'+'gong'='installgong'
'installgong' with letters rearranged gives 'LONG-LASTING'.
(Another definition for long-lasting that I've seen is " Durable".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
