Would have drink laid on, one imagined (8)
I believe the answer is:
supposed
'one imagined' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for supposed that I've seen before include "Assumed to be true or thought probable" , "Imagined; assumed" , "Assumed - hypothetical" , "Putative" , "Imagined, presumed" .)
