Came out again out of mere greed, sadly (9)

I believe the answer is:

reemerged

'came out again' is the definition.
('emerged' can be a synonym for 'came out' so perhaps 'reemerged' is OK for 'came out again')

'out of mere greed sadly' is the wordplay.
'out of' is an anagram indicator.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'mere' with letters rearranged gives 'reem'.
'greed' with letters rearranged gives 'erged'.
'reem'+'erged'='REEMERGED'

(Another definition for reemerged that I've seen is " Mere greed (anag.)".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
