Describes drink to go with fish and chips ultimately (8)
I believe the answer is:
portrays
'describes drink' is the definition.
'portrays' can be an answer for 'describes' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'drink' bit.
'go with fish and chips ultimately' is the wordplay.
'go with' becomes 'port' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'fish' becomes 'ray' (ray is a kind of fish).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'chips' is 's'.
'port'+'ray'+'s'='PORTRAYS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for portrays that I've seen before include "paints?" , "Depicts" , "Shows" , "Describes in words or makes picture of" , "Represents" .)
