One adapting to surroundings of clean home, transformed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chameleon

'one adapting to surroundings' is the definition.

'clean home transformed' is the wordplay.
'transformed' indicates an anagram.
'clean'+'home'='cleanhome'
'cleanhome' with letters rearranged gives 'CHAMELEON'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chameleon that I've seen before include "Lizard that can change its colours" , "Lizard that can adapt its colours to background" , "Lizard whose skin changes colour" , "One to blend in" , "Colour-changing lizard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
