Having no lead, gendarme awkwardly called again (7)
I believe the answer is:
renamed
'called again' is the definition.
('named' can be a synonym for 'called' so perhaps 'renamed' is OK for 'called again')
'having no lead gendarme awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'having no lead' means to remove the first letter (the letter which leads the word is removed).
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'gendarme' with its first letter taken off is 'endarme'.
'endarme' with letters rearranged gives 'RENAMED'.
(Another definition for renamed that I've seen is " Meander (anag)".)
