Cheeky measure to restore (7)
I believe the answer is:
freshen
'restore' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'cheeky measure' is the wordplay.
'cheeky' becomes 'fresh' (I've seen this before).
'measure' becomes 'en' (typographical measure).
'fresh'+'en'='FRESHEN'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freshen that I've seen before include "Make less stale" , "Re-invigorate" , "(Of wind) become stronger and colder" , "(Wind) get stronger" , "Grow stronger (wind)" .)
