Get back — revere it awkwardly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retrieve

'get back' is the definition.
(get back can mean to retrieve or recover)

'revere it awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'revere'+'it'='revereit'
'revereit' anagrammed gives 'RETRIEVE'.

(Other definitions for retrieve that I've seen before include "Search for and discover" , "Recover" , "Find and bring back" , "Get or bring back something" , "Get back or fetch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
