Sticking together recent changes about erected house (8)
I believe the answer is:
coherent
'sticking together' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recent changes about erected house' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'erected' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'ho' back-to-front is 'oh'.
'recent' is an anagram of 'cerent'.
'cerent' going around 'oh' is 'COHERENT'.
(Other definitions for coherent that I've seen before include "Able to speak logically" , "Not rambling in speech or reasoning" , "Holding together as a whole" , "Articulate" , "Meaningful" .)
