Right setting for English first-year students providing elevenses, perhaps? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refreshment

'elevenses perhaps?' is the definition.
(elevenses is a break for refreshments)

'right setting for english first-year students' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'setting for' indicates putting letters inside.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'first-year students' becomes 'freshmen' (US term for students in their first year).
'e'+'freshmen'='efreshmen'
'rt' enclosing 'efreshmen' is 'REFRESHMENT'.

'providing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for refreshment that I've seen before include "Renewal, reinvigoration" , "Food or drink" , "something to take down?" , "stimulation" , "Light snack or drink" .)
