Crossword Genius

Grant me renewed personal cover (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garment

'personal cover' is the definition.
(something which covers a person)

'grant me renewed' is the wordplay.
'renewed' indicates an anagram.
'grant'+'me'='grantme'
'grantme' anagrammed gives 'GARMENT'.

(Other definitions for garment that I've seen before include "Article of dress" , "Singular outfit" , "Vestment" , "An article of clothing (7)" , "Grant me (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
