Bring back army corps court covering most of county (9)

I believe the answer is:

resurrect

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

'bring back' is the definition.
(I know that resurrect is a more specific form of resuscitate)

'army corps court covering most of county' is the wordplay.
'army corps' becomes 'RE' (Royal Engineers).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'most of county' becomes 'surre' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'ct'='rect'
'rect' placed around 'surre' is 'RESURRECT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resurrect that I've seen before include "Breathe new life into" , "Restore to life" , "Bring back to life" , "Raise" , "Revive; disinter" .)
