Doctor has monkey put clothes on (5)

I believe the answer is:

drape

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clothes on' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'doctor has monkey' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'monkey' becomes 'ape' (I've seen this before).
'dr'+'ape'='DRAPE'

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Hang (cloth) loosely" , "Wrap loosely (with cloth)" , "Hanging cloth used as a blind" , "Hang - curtain" , "Cover loosely with cloth" .)
