Veal out, so arranged to produce an egg (7)

ovulate

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

'produce an egg' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'veal out so arranged' is the wordplay.
'veal out' can be anagrammed to 'OVULATE'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovulate that I've seen before include "Produce eggs" , "supply eggs" , "Discharge female germ cells" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
