Fund squandered capital on emergency room fabrication and support (8)
I believe the answer is:
underlie
'support' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for underlie that I've seen before include "Be the basis of" , "Prove to be base" , "Form the base for" , "Be subject to" , "Be situated below" .)
