Went after (6)
I believe the answer is:
chased
'went after' is the definition.
('chase' can be a synonym of 'go after')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for chased that I've seen before include "Decorated metal with engraved or embossed work" , "followed" , "Wooed" , "Engraved; rushed" , "Hunted" .)
