'came again' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'chance to cut grass' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'chance' could be 'turn' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'turn' is present in the answer.
'grass' could be 'reed' (I've seen this before) and 'reed' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for returned that I've seen before include "dishonoured by the bank" , "Sent back" , "Honoured by the electorate" , "Came back - voted in" , "Went, came or brought back" .)
