I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take over home to which weary husband returns' is the definition.
'inherit' can be an answer for 'take' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'which weary husband returns' is the wordplay.
'which' becomes 'in' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'weary' becomes 'tire' (synonyms).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'returns' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'tire'+'h'='tireh'
'tireh' in reverse letter order is 'herit'.
'in'+'herit'='INHERIT'
