Build a home with adobe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abode

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

'build a home' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'adobe' is the wordplay.
'adobe' anagrams to 'ABODE'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "House made of adobe" , "Place of residence" , "House, home" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "Where one lives" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
