Transpositions

The letters of the answer to the first part of the clue can be transposed to form the answer of the second half of the clue. If you find the first part of the clue is elusive then switch to the second part and work your way backwards wink

Example: transpose a garment into a tiresome person -> robe - bore

All solutions are 5 letter words.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
