Provide new home for drunkard on return (5)
I believe the answer is:
repot
'provide new home' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'drunkard on return' is the wordplay.
'drunkard' becomes 'toper' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on return' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'toper' reversed gives 'REPOT'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repot that I've seen before include "Transplant" , "to fit into new container" , "plant in another location" , "place somewhere new to put down roots" , "transfer seedlings" .)
