Open fancy drapes (6)

I believe the answer is:

spread

'open' is the definition.
('spread' can be a synonym of 'open')

'fancy drapes' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'drapes' is an anagram of 'SPREAD'.

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "Stew or distribute over an area" , "extended" , "Land in America" , "Soft paste; large meal" , "Open out; range" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
