Lived daily in Germany, i.e. away (5)
I believe the answer is:
dwelt
'lived' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dwelt that I've seen before include "Persistently thought" , "hung out" , "lodged" , "brooded" , "was established" .)
