Beg for people to finish in a home (5)
I believe the answer is:
plead
'beg' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'people to finish in a home' is the wordplay.
'to finish' suggests halving the letters.
'in a home' becomes 'ad' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'people' halved is 'ple'.
'ple'+'ad'='PLEAD'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plead that I've seen before include "Appeal humbly (to)" , "advocate in court" , "Argue (for a cause)" , "Beg or petition" , "Say one is guilty or not guilty" .)
