powerhouse

'might' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'accommodation for forceful individual' is the wordplay.
'accommodation' becomes 'house'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'forceful individual' becomes 'power' (power is a kind of individual. I am not sure about the 'forceful' bit.).
'house' after 'power' is 'POWERHOUSE'.

'provide' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for powerhouse that I've seen before include "Energetic person" , "Dynamo" , "Remarkably forceful person" , "Dynamic person" , "Person with great energy" .)
