Educator releases duo to provide party food (5)
I believe the answer is:
cater
'educator releases duo to provide party food' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'educator releases duo to provide' is the wordplay.
'releases' suggests deleting specific letters.
'to provide' is an anagram indicator.
'educator' with 'duo' removed is 'ecatr'.
'ecatr' with letters rearranged gives 'CATER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cater that I've seen before include "Supply food for social event" , "Trace in order to serve" , "... you'll see minister" , "Supply provisions" , "Provide goods or services for" .)
