Scan gown to send somewhere else (9)

I believe the answer is:

readdress

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

'send somewhere else' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'scan gown' is the wordplay.
'scan' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'gown' becomes 'dress' (gown is a kind of dress).
'read'+'dress'='READDRESS'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for readdress that I've seen before include "change direction" , "Have another look at" , "tackle again" , "forward" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
