Put into gear (7)
I believe the answer is:
dressed
'put into' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'gear?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'gear?' could be 'dress' (both can mean clothing) and 'dress' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dressed that I've seen before include "Wearing clothes" , "curried" , "Brought into line" , "finery?" , "Clad" .)
