Go back again and sign on (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retrace

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

'go back' is the definition.
(retracing is a kind of going back)

'again and sign on' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sign on' becomes 'trace' (I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
're'+'trace'='RETRACE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for retrace that I've seen is " Go back over (one's steps)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
