Context example:
Teaching simple massage methods to caregivers provides them with a
means of meaningful and structured interaction with their loved one,
in addition to a means of connecting with and supporting each other.
- What does "with a means of" mean?
- Is it a conjunction?
Best Answer
"A means of X" is equivalent to "A method for X" or "A way of doing X".
"With" here goes with "provide": X provides Y with Z = X makes Z available to Y.
