Put it right just as noon was reached? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amended

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

'put it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'right just as noon was reached?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'amend' (amending is a kind of righting) and 'amend' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amended that I've seen before include "Corrected" , "Modified for the better" , "Edited" , "changed" , "Revised or altered" .)
