Hang around and see it return again (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loiter

'hang around' is the definition.
(I know that hang around can be written as loiter)

'see it return again' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'return' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
're' written backwards gives 'er'.
'lo'+'it'+'er'='LOITER'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for loiter that I've seen before include "Tarry like toiler" , "Dawdle, hang around" , "Hang about, with 25 dn perhaps" , "Hang around furtively" , "Skulk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
