Provide with a new, wonderful part (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endow

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

'provide with' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a new wonderful part' is the wordplay.
'a new' becomes 'endo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'part' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'wonderful' is 'w'.
'endo'+'w'='ENDOW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endow that I've seen before include "Invest" , "Provide with a permanent income - perhaps a college" , "Enrich with a gift or faculty" , "Set up with money" , "Provide money for" .)
