dogged

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

'determined' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'do good again for the editor' is the wordplay.
'good again' becomes 'gg' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the editor' becomes 'ed'.
'do'+'gg'+'ed'='DOGGED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
