Get workers together in country club and celebrate after leader's departure (8)
I believe the answer is:
unionise
'get' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'workers together in country club and celebrate after leader's departure' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'country' could be 'union' (Union is an example) and 'union' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ise' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unionise that I've seen is " Recruit workers into a representative body".)
