'relocate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'art in ferns' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'art' is 'tra' which is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'ferns' is 'nsfer' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
