Favour directors getting somewhere to put crockery (9)
I believe the answer is:
sideboard
'somewhere to put crockery' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'favour directors getting' is the wordplay.
'favour' becomes 'side' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'directors' becomes 'board' (board of directors).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'side'+'board'='SIDEBOARD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sideboard that I've seen before include "dresser?" , "Dining room furniture" , "Piece of dining-room furniture" , "place for silverware?" , "Dior beads (anag.)" .)
