Get back, for example, in the wet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regain

'get back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'example in the wet' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the wet' becomes 'rain' (wet weather).
'eg' going into 'rain' is 'REGAIN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for regain that I've seen before include "Win back" , "Recover - in gear (anag)" , "Get back, recover the use of" , "Get back (previously owned object)" , "Take back (the Ashes, for example)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
