Team of directors getting somewhere to put crockery (9)
I believe the answer is:
sideboard
'put crockery' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'team of directors getting somewhere' is the wordplay.
'team of directors' becomes 'board' (board of directors).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'somewhere' becomes 'side' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'board' put after 'side' is 'SIDEBOARD'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sideboard that I've seen before include "Item of dining-room furniture" , "Dior beads (anag.)" , "Dining room furniture" , "Piece of dining-room furniture" , "dresser?" .)
