Makeover with scope for sex change (5)
I believe the answer is:
refit
'change' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'makeover with scope for sex' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'sex' could be 'it' (a common euphemism) and 'it' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ref' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for refit that I've seen before include "Equip by repairing or replacing parts" , "Replace or repair equipment as part of a general overhaul" , "Equip anew" , "Equip for further use" , "Refurbishment (of ship)" .)
