Owns XXX and is in a hurry (7)

I believe the answer is:

hastens

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

'is in a hurry' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'owns xxx' is the wordplay.
'owns' becomes 'has' ('have' can be a synonym of 'own').
'xxx' becomes 'tens' (I've seen this in another clue).
'has'+'tens'='HASTENS'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hastens that I've seen before include "Moves fast" , "Hurries" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
