Support given to woman receiving ring and offer of marriage (8)
I believe the answer is:
proposal
'offer of marriage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'support given to woman receiving ring' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'support' could be 'prop' (prop up can mean to support) and 'prop' is found in the answer.
'woman' could be 'sal' (short for Sally) and 'sal' is located in the answer.
'ring' could be 'o' (letter resembling a ring) and 'o' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for proposal that I've seen before include "Suggestion put forward for consideration" , "a match might be arranged?" , "put before the union?" , "Offer (to get spliced?)" , "union offer?" .)
