'escorts' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'shockingly sun hires' is the wordplay.
'shockingly' indicates an anagram.
'sun'+'hires'='sunhires'
'sunhires' with letters rearranged gives 'USHERS IN'.
