Prepares for being sited anew (5)
I believe the answer is:
edits
'prepares for' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'sited anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sited' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITS'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edits that I've seen before include "Redacts" , "Prepares for publication" , "Tides (anag.)" , "Modifies" , "Directs newspaper production" .)
