Crossword Genius

Journey and finally meet French composer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

travel

'journey' is the definition.
('travel' can be a synonym of 'journey')

'finally meet french composer' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'french composer' becomes 'ravel' (I've seen this before).
The last letter of 'meet' is 't'.
't'+'ravel'='TRAVEL'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for travel that I've seen before include "Move from one place to another" , "Voyage" , "Varlet (anag.)" , "Go from place to place" , "Pass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
