This time, vine twisted around to take over (6)
I believe the answer is:
invade
'to take over' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'this time vine twisted around' is the wordplay.
'this time' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'twisted' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vine' with letters rearranged gives 'inve'.
'ad' going inside 'inve' is 'INVADE'.
(Other definitions for invade that I've seen before include "Enter intrusively" , "infect" , "Intrude on" , "Attack, trespass on" , "Enter a country by force with an army" .)
