Develop new way to harness airway (8)
I believe the answer is:
reinvent
'develop new way' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'harness airway' is the wordplay.
'harness' becomes 'rein' (synonyms).
'airway' becomes 'vent' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rein'+'vent'='REINVENT'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reinvent that I've seen before include "Create anew - not the wheel, please" , "Coin not necessarily found" , "Change (something) so as to appear entirely new" , "Change (something) so much as to appear new" , "design again" .)
