Scan gown to provide new location (9)
I believe the answer is:
readdress
'provide new location' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'scan gown' is the wordplay.
'scan' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'gown' becomes 'dress' (gown is a kind of dress).
'read'+'dress'='READDRESS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for readdress that I've seen before include "change direction" , "Have another look at" , "forward" , "tackle again" .)
