Restored to favour, one considered, again (8)

I believe the answer is:

redeemed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restored to favour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one considered again' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is found within the answer.
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'deed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redeemed that I've seen before include "Saved from sins or bought back from the pawnshop" , "free from error" , "exchanged tokens" , "Bought back from pawnbroker" , "Rescued, from hell or pawn" .)
