Male remains with it - it's something a club has? (10)
I believe the answer is:
membership
'something a club has?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'male remains with it' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'remains' becomes 'embers' (remains of a fire).
'with it' becomes 'hip' (I've seen this before).
'm'+'embers'+'hip'='MEMBERSHIP'
'it's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for membership that I've seen before include "For everybody in organisation" , "body" , "What a joiner gets" .)
