Get together to stage a recovery (5)
I believe the answer is:
rally
'a recovery' is the definition.
(I know that rally is a type of recovery)
'get together to stage' is the wordplay.
'get together' becomes 'ally' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'stage' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ally' after 'r' is 'RALLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rally that I've seen before include "several shots" , "Mass meeting -- revive" , "Motor sport event" , "Regain health" , "Revive - assembly" .)
