Bought back from pawn (8)

I believe the answer is:

redeemed

(Other definitions for redeemed that I've seen before include "Rescued, from hell or pawn" , "Thought about the possibilities again" , "Made up for; bought back" , "Bought out of pawn" , "exchanged tokens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
