itchy feet

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

'restlessness' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'yen may finish measures' is the wordplay.
'yen' becomes 'itch' (I've seen this in another clue).
'finish' suggests the final letters.
'measures' becomes 'feet' (foot is a kind of measure).
The last letter of 'may' is 'y'.
'itch'+'y'+'feet'='ITCHY FEET'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
