Strive for inordinate praise (6)

Ross

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)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
