Yearn for much later (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
long after
'yearn for much later' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'yearn for much later' is the wordplay.
'yearn' becomes 'long-' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'much later' becomes 'after' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'much' bit.).
'long'+'after'='LONG AFTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
