Gather cape's put back in position (9)
I believe the answer is:
reappoint
'back in position' is the definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.
'gather cape's' is the wordplay.
'gather' becomes 'reap' (reaping is a kind of gathering).
'cape' becomes 'point' (both can mean a piece of land jutting into the sea).
'reap'+'point'='REAPPOINT'
'put' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reappoint that I've seen before include "put back in the post" , "put back in place" , "return to job" , "return post" , "Once again choose" .)
