9,5
I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seat' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'i offered support for member not returned pm' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' is present in the answer.
'support' could be 'sling' (sling is a type of support for member (ie an arm)) and 'sling' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'not' is 'ton' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
