'change' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'the hose it's worn' is the wordplay.
'it's worn' indicates anagramming the letters (worn can mean damaged).
'hose' anagrammed gives 'SHOE'.
