Crossword Genius

Back no EU changes with grace (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

encourage

'back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'no eu changes with grace' is the wordplay.
'changes with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'eu'='noeu'
'noeu' with its letters mixed up with 'grace' can make 'ENCOURAGE'.

(Other definitions for encourage that I've seen before include "Recommend" , "Hearten, inspire" , "Spurs on" , "Spur on, inspire" , "Motivate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
