Couched again, relax with a little toy bear (8)
I believe the answer is:
restated
'couched again' is the definition.
(couched in certain terms again)
'relax with a little toy bear' is the wordplay.
'relax' becomes 'rest' (to relax is to have a rest).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'little toy bear' becomes 'ted' (short for teddy bear).
'rest'+'a'+'ted'='RESTATED'
(Other definitions for restated that I've seen before include "Iterated" , "Didn't tell us anything new" , "In other words" , "Declared, not for the first time" , "Said again" .)
