Gypsy turning up with beer and spirits (6)
I believe the answer is:
morale
'spirits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'gypsy turning up with beer' is the wordplay.
'gypsy' becomes 'rom' (a Rom is a member of the Roma people).
'turning up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'rom' in reverse letter order is 'mor'.
'mor'+'ale'='MORALE'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for morale that I've seen before include "Group spirit and confidence" , "external confidence" , "State of a group's confidence and spirit" , "Mood" , "Spirits" .)
