Beefy sending son to back for accoutrements (9)
I believe the answer is:
trappings
'back for accoutrements' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'beefy sending son' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'trapping' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trappings that I've seen before include "office equipment" , "Bells and whistles" , "Ornaments" , "signs of success" , "harness" .)
