Changes to suit a new purpose or situation (6)

I believe the answer is:

adapts

(Other definitions for adapts that I've seen before include "Converts to alternative use" , "Change to fit new circumstances" , "Changes to suit another purpose" , "Makes suitable for a new use" , "Modifies for a new use" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
