Another increase? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

again

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

'another' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'increase?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'increase?' could be 'gain' (gaining is a kind of increasing) and 'gain' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains 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 again that I've seen before include "Next time" , "Anew" , "One more time, encore" , "second term" , "repeat order" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
