I believe the answer is:

eke

(Other definitions for eke that I've seen before include "To -- something out is to make it go further" , "Stretch (out); in addition (archaic)" , "Make a living laboriously - a palindrome" , "Make last longer" , "Make a laborious living" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
