I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'journey and didn't go on again' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'broke' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'broke' could be 'stopped' ('stop' can be a synonym of 'break') and 'stopped' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'off' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
