Adore endlessly ending up Pole (3)
I believe the answer is:
rod
'pole' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "Straight, slender stick" , "Stick - measure" , "something fisherman brings home" , "Fisherman's item" , "Sceptre" .)
