Crossword Genius

Prepare to come into line (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dress

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'prepare' is the first definition.
(I know that dress is a more specific form of the action prepare)

'come into line' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for dress that I've seen before include "deck" , "items to wear" , "Clothe; decorate" , "To prepare" , "This woman might slip on" .)

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