Strive for inordinate praise (6)
I believe the answer is:
aspire
'strive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'inordinate praise' is the wordplay.
'inordinate' indicates an anagram.
'praise' is an anagram of 'ASPIRE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Have ambition (to achieve something)" , "Hope (to do something)" , "Earnestly desire (to achieve something)" , "Have aspiration for, aim at" , "Have ambitions (to achieve something)" .)
