Altering something to make it suitable for a new purpose (8)

I believe the answer is:

adapting

(Other definitions for adapting that I've seen before include "Altering to fit another purpose" , "Changing to fit new circumstances" , "Changing to suit a new purpose" , "Adjusting to suit a new use" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
