'contribute to' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'good stroke perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'good' could be 'pi' (old-fashioned term for pious) and 'pi' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'chin' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
