Scrambled to dress light (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garbled

'scrambled' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'dress light' is the wordplay.
'dress' becomes 'garb' (synonyms).
'light' becomes 'led' (abbreviation for light emitting diode).
'garb'+'led'='GARBLED'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for garbled that I've seen before include "Confused, disjointed" , "Distorted - muddled" , "Disjointed, incoherent" , "Distorted, confused" , "Unintentionally jumbled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
