readapt

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

'show more flexibility to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'interpret a part' is the wordplay.
'interpret' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'part' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation).
'read'+'a'+'pt'='READAPT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for readapt that I've seen before include "Again adjust to changed conditions" , "again demonstrate versatility" , "Once again modify" , "undergo further change" , "make further modifications" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
