Always with time to turn out (5)
I believe the answer is:
evert
'turn out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'always with time' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'ever' ('ever' can be a synonym of 'always').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't'.
'ever'+'t'='EVERT'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for evert that I've seen before include "arrange to have the wrong side out?" , "Chris --, female tennis star" , "Chris - - (women's tennis)" , "Former US World No 1 tennis player, b. 1954" , "Hitter of 6 [TENNIS BALL]" .)
