Squads provided with refreshing drink by young woman (5)
I believe the answer is:
teams
'squads' is the definition.
('team' can be a synonym of 'squad')
'refreshing drink by young woman' is the wordplay.
'refreshing drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a refreshing drink).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'young woman' becomes 'ms' (Ms can refer to an older or unmarried woman. I am not sure about the 'young' bit.).
'tea'+'ms'='TEAMS'
'provided with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teams that I've seen before include "Lots of players" , "Groups or troupes" , "Squads" , "Sports sides" , "Groups of people working together" .)
