Take home

Answer:

EARN

Hint:

Think of what you do to receive money for your work or efforts, especially at the end of a pay period. It starts with "e" and isn’t about borrowing or winning.

Explanation:

"Take home" is a phrase that can mean the money you receive after working, which is your pay or salary. In this clue, it’s used as a simple definition—what you "take home" from a job is what you "earn." The answer plays on the financial meaning rather than the literal act of carrying something to your house. It’s a straightforward clue where the word "earn" fits perfectly as the solution.
