It's frequently made from revolutionary mesh (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

often

'it's frequently' is the definition.
('often' can be a synonym of 'frequently')

'from revolutionary mesh' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'of' (I've seen this in other clues).
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'mesh' becomes 'net' ('net' can be a synonym of 'mesh').
'net' backwards is 'ten'.
'of'+'ten'='OFTEN'

'made' is the link.

(Other definitions for often that I've seen before include "Frequently, habitually" , "More than occasionally" , "on numerous occasions" , "Much of the time" , "Turn away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
