Crossword Genius

Once again deal with hiding place (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreat

'hiding place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'once again deal' is the wordplay.
'once again' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'deal' becomes 'treat' (I've seen this before**).
're'+'treat'='RETREAT'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "What cowards might do" , "Tree rat (anag)" , "Monastery - bugle call" , "hermitage, perhaps" , "Withdraw from battle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
