Powerful accessories bring society to the fore (9)
I believe the answer is:
strapping
'powerful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'society to the fore' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'to the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'fore' becomes 'rapping' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
's'+'t'+'rapping'='STRAPPING'
'accessories bring' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strapping that I've seen before include "Big" , "stalwart" , "Brawny" , "Tying up" , "Burly" .)
