interim

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

'makeshift' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'home one to call round' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'to call' becomes 'term' (terming is a kind of calling).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'i' put within 'term' is 'terim'.
'in'+'terim'='INTERIM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interim that I've seen before include "Meantime; temporary" , "Caretaker" , "temporary period" , "Stopgap" , "Meantime - provisional" .)
