Update the pattern of Communist symbol round the East (8)
I believe the answer is:
redesign
'update the pattern' is the definition.
'redesign' can be an answer for 'update'. I am unsure of the 'the pattern' bit.
'communist symbol round the east' is the wordplay.
'communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'symbol' becomes 'sign' (I've seen this before).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'the east' becomes 'e' ('E' can be a synonym of 'east').
'red'+'sign'='redsign'
'redsign' placed around 'e' is 'REDESIGN'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for redesign that I've seen before include "Modernise" , "new plan" , "New look" , "Plan something again" , "Draw or plan again" .)
