Cry from female supporter, very old (5)
I believe the answer is:
bravo
'cry' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Cry of approval ' mean 'bravo' so perhaps 'cry' could also mean 'bravo')
'female supporter very old' is the wordplay.
'female supporter' becomes 'bra' (a bra gives support to breasts. I am not sure about the 'female' bit.).
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'bra'+'v'+'o'='BRAVO'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bravo that I've seen before include "Well done; B (radio)" , "I applaud you!" , "Shout of approval" , "Theatrical 'well done'" , "Exclamation of approval" .)
