'robinson's' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'change of course' is the wordplay.
'change of' indicates an anagram (the letter order is changed).
'course' is an anagram of 'CRUSOE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
