Modifies to suit the circumstances (6)

I believe the answer is:

adapts

(Other definitions for adapts that I've seen before include "Changes to suit a new purpose" , "Makes fit or tailors to another purpose" , "Changes to fit new circumstances" , "Modifies for a new use" , "Adjusts to new conditions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
