One offering support to the board? (7)

I believe the answer is:

trestle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one offering support' is the definition.
'trestle' can be an answer for 'support' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'one offering' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trestle that I've seen before include "Letters (anag) - table" , "Simple table support" , "support for board" , "folding table?" , "Table support frame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
