A crew Independent draws in conveniences (9)
I believe the answer is:
amenities
'conveniences' is the definition.
('amenities' can be a synonym of 'conveniences')
'a crew independent draws' is the wordplay.
'a crew' becomes 'amen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'independent' becomes 'i'.
'draws' becomes 'ties' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'draw').
'amen'+'i'+'ties'='AMENITIES'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amenities that I've seen before include "pleasing features" , "useful services?" , "Equipment" , "Useful facilities" , "conveniences" .)
