Something with cups most needed for bottle (7)
I believe the answer is:
bravery
'bottle' is the definition.
'something with cups most needed' is the wordplay.
'something with cups' becomes 'bra'.
'most' becomes 'very'.
'needed' says to put letters next to each other.
'bra'+'very'='BRAVERY'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for bravery that I've seen before include "Valour" , "Dauntlessness" , "Courageous quality" , "Courage" , "Heroism" .)
