An absorbing and refreshing thing to do (3)
I believe the answer is:
sup
'do' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sup that I've seen before include "Drink; eat evening meal" , "A mouthful of liquid" , "Take food" , "Eat a late meal; sip" , "Drink -- eat (with the devil?)" .)
