Ross

'robinson's' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'change of course' is the wordplay.
'change of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'course' with letters rearranged gives 'CRUSOE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crusoe that I've seen before include "Shipwreck victim" , "5 down [CASTAWAY]" , "Friday was his man" , "Robinson -, (Defoe's castaway)" , "One stranded" .)
