Period at home gets an old rocker wound up (10)
I believe the answer is:
terminated
'wound up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'period at home gets an old rocker' is the wordplay.
'period' becomes 'term' (term is a kind of period**).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('in' can be similar in meaning to 'at home').
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an' becomes 'a'.
'old rocker' becomes 'ted'.
'term'+'in'+'a'+'ted'='TERMINATED'
(Other definitions for terminated that I've seen before include "reached the end of the line" , "Ended" , "Stopped" , "Finished" , "done something with extreme prejudice" .)
