Aim with Edward to get finished (5)
I believe the answer is:
ended
'finished' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'aim with edward' is the wordplay.
'aim' becomes 'end' (both can mean a goal or purpose).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edward' becomes 'Ed' (short for Edward).
'end'+'ed'='ENDED'
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ended that I've seen before include "Brought to a finish" , "Concluded" , "Over; complete" , "Stopped" , "Culminated" .)
