Want time to go to bay (5)
I believe the answer is:
covet
'want' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'time to go to bay' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to go to' says to put letters next to each other.
'bay' becomes 'cove' (I've seen this before).
't' put after 'cove' is 'COVET'.
(Other definitions for covet that I've seen before include "Crave something belonging to someone else" , "Be envious" , "Yearn to possess (an item owned by another)" , "Yearn to possess (another's property)" , "Long enviously (to have something)" .)
