Call again for a quantity of paper? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

require

'call' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'again for a quantity of paper?' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're'.
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'a quantity of paper?' becomes 'quire' (I've seen this before).
're'+'quire'='REQUIRE'

(Other definitions for require that I've seen before include "exact" , ".. must have" , "Want, demand" , "26 [ORDER]" , "Insist on" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
