replacement

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'provision of substitute' is the definition.
'replacement' can be an answer for 'substitute' (replacement is a kind of substitute). I am unsure of the 'provision of' bit.

'wonky temperance consuming alcohol finally' is the wordplay.
'wonky' indicates anagramming the letters (the original order is disrupted or wonky ).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'alcohol' is 'l'.
'temperance' is an anagram of 'repacement'.
'repacement' placed around 'l' is 'REPLACEMENT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for replacement that I've seen before include "Restoration - substitution" , "successor?" , "change" , "One superseding another" , "sub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
