New hour is arranged for feed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nourish

'for feed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new hour is arranged' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'hour'+'is'='houris'
'houris' with letters rearranged gives 'ourish'.
'n'+'ourish'='NOURISH'

(Other definitions for nourish that I've seen before include "Provide with food for growth" , "Foster or cherish, often with food" , "Feed - encourage to develop" , "Keep alive and well with food" , "encourage growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
