Assume you’ll get a pint at a party (5)
I believe the answer is:
adopt
'assume you'll' is the definition.
'adopt' can be an answer for 'assume' ('adopt' can be a synonym of 'assume'). I'm not sure about the 'you'll' bit.
'a pint at a party' is the wordplay.
'a pint' becomes 'pt'.
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'a'+'do'='ado'
'pt' put after 'ado' is 'ADOPT'.
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adopt that I've seen before include "make one's own" , "Choose as one's own" , "Take responsibility for" , "choose as candidate" , "Accept as one's own" .)
