Crossword Genius

Again charge one male among rest (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reimpose

'again charge' is the definition.
('impose' is an answer for 'charge' so perhaps 'reimpose' is OK for 'again charge')

'one male among rest' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'among' is an insertion indicator.
'rest' becomes 'repose' ('repose' can be a synonym of 'rest'**).
'i'+'m'='im'
'im' put inside 'repose' is 'REIMPOSE'.

(Another definition for reimpose that I've seen is " Some pier (anag.)".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
