Groom oneself in a vain manner (5)

I believe the answer is:

preen

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "Groom (oneself) with evident vanity" , "Array (oneself) carefully" , "Groom elaborately" , "Titivate oneself" , "setdown straight?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
