Long to finished the day and get paid (5)
I believe the answer is:
yearn
'long' is the definition.
('yearn' can be a synonym of 'long')
'finished the day and get paid' is the wordplay.
'finished the day' becomes 'y' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'get paid' becomes 'earn' (I've seen this before).
'y'+'earn'='YEARN'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yearn that I've seen before include "Desire, want" , "Have an intense feeling of longing" , "Pant - pine" , "Have a great longing" , "Long (for something)" .)
