If you want compensation, put your clothes on again (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redress

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

'if you want compensation put your' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'clothes on again' is the wordplay.
'clothes' becomes 'dress' (dress is a kind of clothes).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'dress' after 're' is 'REDRESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redress that I've seen before include "Make amends for" , "Correct" , "Pay" , "Put right" , "remedy" .)
