Can anyone help me parse the following solution?

21A Long time coming to the point
YEARN

I get that "era" (long time) is in there, but can't see how the rest of it works or even what the definition works.

One other:

22A They have to wait for his money
?E?V?N?

Could this be SERVANT?

21a long = yearn ....time = year+ coming to point N(North)

22 Would work correctly if the clue said 'He' rather than they. Servant is fine for someone having to wait, tend/look after, for a living.

Thanks xwordfan! I hadn't clocked 'point' for North.

Thanks Malone!
