'orders?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'how the removal man obeys' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'man' could be 'carr' and 'carr' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
