Leading researcher equips my old doctor’s excited landscaper to create new look (7)
I believe the answer is:
remodel
'new look' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
'leading researcher equips my old doctor's excited landscaper' is the wordplay.
'leading' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'researcher equips my old doctors excited landscaper' is 'REMODEL'.
'to create' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for remodel that I've seen before include "Change the shape" , "style again" , "Reconstruct, recast" , "Change the form of" , "Reshape" .)
