Prepare anew to get back to Maidenhead (5)
I believe the answer is:
rearm
'prepare anew' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'get back to maidenhead' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'back' becomes 'rear' (something's rear is its back).
'to maidenhead' becomes 'm' (head letter of 'maiden').
'rear' next to 'm' is 'REARM'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rearm that I've seen before include "Acquire new or better weapons" , "prepare for another war" , "Provide with a new supply of weapons" , "Equip with new or better weapons" , "Provide new weaponry" .)
