reshaped

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

'reformed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how they can define each other.

'her spade somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'her'+'spade'='herspade'
'herspade' is an anagram of 'RESHAPED'.
