Have everyone behind you (7)
I believe the answer is:
precede
'have' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for precede that I've seen before include "Go in front" , "Come before (something)" , "Occur before" , "Come/go before" , "be in the van" .)
