Got back from a diner, eg, the worse for wear (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regained

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

'a diner eg the worse for wear' is the wordplay.
'the worse for wear' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'diner'+'eg'='adinereg'
'adinereg' anagrammed gives 'REGAINED'.

'from' is the link.

(Another definition for regained that I've seen is " Got back".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
