Gave (someone) the means (to do something) (7)

I believe the answer is:

enabled

(Other definitions for enabled that I've seen before include "Facilitated or empowered" , "Made possible, facilitated" , "Qualified" , "Allowed" , "Made something possible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
