Longed for an aspirin? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ached

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

'longed' is the definition.
('ache' can be a synonym of 'long')

'an aspirin?' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'aspirin?' becomes 'ched' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'ched'='ACHED'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ached that I've seen before include "Throbbed" , "Had a continuous pain" , "suffered" , "Felt a dull pain" , "Hurt" .)
