Meal with different side for you to take out (5)
I believe the answer is:
lynch
'take out' 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 an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lynch that I've seen before include "Kill without legal sanction" , "String up illegally" , "Kill illegally, by mob" , "David __; film director" , "- - law (= mob violence)" .)
