Oven, hot once more (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

again

'once more' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'oven hot' is the wordplay.
'oven' becomes 'aga' (type of large oven).
'hot' becomes 'in' (both can mean fashionable).
'aga'+'in'='AGAIN'

(Other definitions for again that I've seen before include "Repeatedly" , "10 10 [AGAIN" , "Here we go ___" , "On the other hand" , "return" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
