Returns home: needs to move nearer (6)
I believe the answer is:
income
'returns' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'home needs to move nearer' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is found in the answer.
'move' could be 'come' (coming is a kind of moving) and 'come' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for income that I've seen before include "Money received for work or from investment" , "Money coming in" , "What do you make" , "Remuneration or earnings" , "Pay earned" .)
