Redesigned garden set apart (9)

I believe the answer is:

estranged

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

'apart' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'redesigned garden set' is the wordplay.
'redesigned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'garden'+'set'='gardenset'
'gardenset' is an anagram of 'ESTRANGED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for estranged that I've seen before include "Alienated, disaffected" , "Having become unfriendly or alienated" , "no longer friendly" , "Split" , "Sad regent (anag) - disaffected" .)
