Agrees to change the design (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deigns

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

'agrees' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'change the design' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'design' is an anagram of 'DEIGNS'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deigns that I've seen before include "Condescends to or patronises" , "Is condescending by design (6)" , "Singed (anag)" , "Does something beneath one's dignity" , "Condescends by design" .)
