Provide means of support for heel that hurts (5)
I believe the answer is:
endow
'provide means of support for heel that hurts' is the definition.
'endow' can be an answer for 'provide' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'support for heel that hurts' is the wordplay.
'support for' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters 'support' others).
'heel' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in another clue).
'that hurts' becomes 'ow!'.
'end' put next to 'ow' is 'ENDOW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endow that I've seen before include "Give qualities or abilities to" , "Provide with a source of income" , "Fund" , "Provide with a permanent income, say a school" , "Provide funds" .)
