rekindle

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

'inflame afresh' is the definition.
'rekindle' can be an answer for 'inflame' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'afresh' bit.

'possibly link deer' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'link'+'deer'='linkdeer'
'linkdeer' with letters rearranged gives 'REKINDLE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rekindle that I've seen before include "Cause to start burning again" , "Get the fire going again" , "Cause to burn again" , "Revive (something lost)" , "Light (a fire) again" .)
