Happy Monday
Well, once again we're back to a puzzle whose origin story is shrouded in mystery. I think it was either an entry in another puzzle that suggested it, or maybe a rabbit hole I was pursuing. In other words, pretty much the same story as most of my other puzzles

I will say up front that solvers might be tempted to think one of the two words of the answer is inferred, but I promise that it is not.
Thanks to
Wendy Walker and
Abide for test solving. Thanks as always to Joe Ross for tech support.
Nudges Wednesday, solution on Sunday.
Hope you enjoy!
cheers,
Alan
Nudges:
Nudge 1: There are three theme entries, with 7 total words
Nudge 2: Each word in the themers can accept a certain modification, suggested by the title
Nudge 3: Now you should have 7 new words, so do the usual thing
Nudge 4: "Yeah, yeah I knew all that. But it only gives me one word." You probably found the other word without knowing it.
Nudge 5: The themer words were chosen for more than their ability to accept a leading PR
Nudge 6: Look at the letters you replaced
Great way to start the week.
