convert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one seen changing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'conservative to green?' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for Conservative).
'to green?' becomes 'vert' (heraldic term for green).
'con'+'vert'='CONVERT'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for convert that I've seen before include "Transform" , "succeed at Twickenham" , "Change from one thing to another" , "Win over opponent" , "Alter for new purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
