Add repeat, changed and modified again (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

readapted

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

'modified again' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'add repeat changed' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'add'+'repeat'='addrepeat'
'addrepeat' is an anagram of 'READAPTED'.

'and' is the link.
