Longed having base for trophy made (7)
I believe the answer is:
yearned
'longed' is the definition.
('yearn' can be a synonym of 'long')
'base for trophy made' is the wordplay.
'base for' suggests the final letters (in a down clue, the bottom or base of a word).
'made' becomes 'earned' (as in making money).
The last letter of 'trophy' is 'y'.
'y'+'earned'='YEARNED'
'having' is the link.
(Other definitions for yearned that I've seen before include "Felt longing (for something)" , "Pined" , "Craved" , "Did long" , "Longed (for something)" .)
