Crossword Genius

Ring for a long time (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eternity

This clue is a triple definition!

'ring' is the first definition.
(eternity ring is a type of ring)

'for' acts as a link.

'a long' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'time' is the third definition.
(I know that eternity is a type of time)

(Other definitions for eternity that I've seen before include "Evermore" , "An extremely long time" , "Entirety (anag.)" , "Forever and ever" , "destination of film?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
