Crossword Genius

Within reach, I eventually succeed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

achieve

'succeed' is the definition.
(achieving is a kind of succeeding)

'within reach i eventually' is the wordplay.
'within' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ACHIEVE' is hidden in the letters of 'reach i eventually'.

(Other definitions for achieve that I've seen before include "wrap up" , "Bring to a successful outcome" , "Finish" , "Accomplish, gain by effort" , "Successfully bring off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
