Crossword Genius

Follow winding course newly renamed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meander

'follow winding course' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'newly renamed' is the wordplay.
'newly' indicates an anagram.
'renamed' anagrammed gives 'MEANDER'.

(Other definitions for meander that I've seen before include "Wind (like a river)" , "Renamed in order to wander in leisurely way" , "Roam aimlessly around" , "Zigzag" , "circuitous route" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
