Good man meets with resistance (5)
I believe the answer is:
stand
'resistance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'good man meets with' is the wordplay.
'good man' becomes 'st'.
'meets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'st'+'and'='STAND'
(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "stick" , "stay the same in position" , "Pedestal" , "Set up" , "Tolerate - resistance" .)
