Can staves provide the matchwood for them? (6)
I believe the answer is:
vestas
'the matchwood for them?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'can staves' is the wordplay.
'can' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
'staves' with letters rearranged gives 'VESTAS'.
'provide' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for vestas that I've seen is " Matches - staves (anag)".)
