High time for something new (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

update

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

'something new' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'high time' is the wordplay.
'high' becomes 'up' (associated in meaning).
'time' becomes 'date' (a date is a period of time).
'up'+'date'='UPDATE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for update that I've seen before include "Correct - modernise" , "Latest information" , "account of the latest developments" , "Brief" , "Latest news" .)
