Friendly Society, one having what it takes (8)
I believe the answer is:
sociable
'friendly' is the definition.
('sociable' can be a synonym of 'friendly')
'society one having what it takes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'society' could be 'soc' and 'soc' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sociable that I've seen before include "Fond of others' company" , "Fond of mixing with others" , "Easy in company" , "Friendly and pleasant" , "Friendly - gregarious" .)
