Intended to provide funding where one name absconds (6)
I believe the answer is:
fiance
'intended' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'funding where one name absconds' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'an' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to provide' is the link.
(Other definitions for fiance that I've seen before include "He's engaged to be married" , "One who's engaged" , "One's betrothed" , "Engaged male" , "One engaged to marry" .)
