Change hols to get away from homelands (5)
I believe the answer is:
amend
'change hols' is the definition.
'amend' can be an answer for 'change' (amending is a kind of changing). I'm not sure about the 'hols' bit.
'away from homelands' is the wordplay.
'away' becomes 'A' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'homelands' becomes 'mend' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'mend'='AMEND'
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amend that I've seen before include "Change, alter" , "Modify - edit" , "make an improvement" , "Change for the better" , "Correct or alter to improve" .)
