Prepare the duvet for a makeshift bed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shakedown

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

'makeshift bed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'prepare the duvet for a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'prepare' could be 'do' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'do' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shakedown that I've seen before include "extortion" , "Makeshift bed" , "Overcharge villainously" , "improvised bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
