Dine with rich drink by way of a nourishing accompaniment? (7)
I believe the answer is:
support
'a nourishing accompaniment?' is the definition.
'support' can be an answer for 'accompaniment?' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'a nourishing' bit.
'dine with rich drink' is the wordplay.
'dine' becomes 'sup' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rich drink' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of drink. I am not sure about the 'rich' bit.).
'sup'+'port'='SUPPORT'
'by way of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for support that I've seen before include "strengthen" , "Stay" , "Bear; corroborate" , "Provide with food, clothing and shelter, or encouragement" , "Cheer" .)
