Do cursory alteration to trousers (9)
I believe the answer is:
corduroys
'to trousers' is the definition.
(corduroys is a kind of trousers)
'do cursory alteration' is the wordplay.
'do cursory' can be anagrammed to 'CORDUROYS'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for corduroys that I've seen is " Trousers of ribbed cotton fabric".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
