'made uniform' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'drag leisure out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'drag'+'leisure'='dragleisure'
'dragleisure' with letters rearranged gives 'REGULARISED'.

'to' acts as a link.
