studies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offices in the house' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'labour suited to endless' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'suited' is 'studie' which is within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for studies that I've seen before include "Applies the mind to learning" , "Closely inspects; rooms" , "academic courses" , "Scrutinises" , "lessons" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
