Crossword Genius

Polish once again getting snub (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'polish once again' is the first definition.
(to buff again)

'snub' is the second definition.
(I know that snub can be written as rebuff)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rebuff that I've seen before include "Check" , "Unexpected and blunt refusal" , "Cold-shoulder" , "Reject bluntly" , "Reject in an ungrateful manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
