Supports welcoming a recipient of bequest (7)
I believe the answer is:
legatee
'recipient of bequest' is the definition.
'legatee' can be an answer for 'recipient' (legatee is a kind of recipient). I am unsure of the 'of bequest' bit.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legatee that I've seen before include "One receiving legacy" , "man newly-enriched?" , "One coming into property" , "Beneficiary of a will" , "One receiving something left in a will" .)
