Where it's not bad to get roughly set about? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stoke
'set about?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'where it's not bad to get roughly' is the wordplay.
'where' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'not bad' becomes 'ok'.
'to get roughly' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ts' anagrammed gives 'st'.
'st'+'ok'+'e'='STOKE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stoke that I've seen before include "Village with 'country churchyard'" , "Tend a kiln" , "Potteries town" , "Scene of Gray's country churchyard" , "Add coal to (a furnace)" .)
