Is it consumed for encouragement? (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheer
'for encouragement?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is it consumed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'cher' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "hurrah" , "Merriment" , "Encourage - applaud" , "Shout of praise or joy" , "Shout hooray" .)
