Ross

revamped

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

'restyled' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'clergyman camped without roof' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'clergyman' could be 'rev' (short for reverend) and 'rev' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'amped' 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 revamped that I've seen before include "Renovated, restored" , "Overhauled" , "Given a makeover" .)
