Always going to church for a good cry! (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheer
'good cry' is the definition.
'cheer' can be an answer for 'cry' (I have seen 'Cry of approval ' mean 'cheer' so perhaps 'cry' could also mean 'cheer'). I am unsure of the 'good' bit.
'always going to church' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'eer' (poetic way of saying ever).
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'eer' after 'ch' is 'CHEER'.
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "one in three, perhaps" , "Applause - encourage" , "Jolly" , "Perk up" , "entertainment" .)
