Replenish drink quietly held by bank (8)

I believe the answer is:

resupply

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

'bank' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'replenish drink quietly held' is the wordplay.
'replenish' becomes 'rely' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drink' becomes 'sup' (to sup is to drink).
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'held' indicates putting letters inside.
'sup'+'p'='supp'
'rely' going around 'supp' is 'RESUPPLY'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
