Recover anew and make a profit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regain

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

'recover' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'anew and make a profit' is the wordplay.
'anew' becomes 're' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'make a profit' becomes 'gain' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'gain'='REGAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regain that I've seen before include "Get back (previously owned object)" , "Win back" , "Get back, recover the use of" , "Take back (the Ashes, for example)" , "Possess once more for regina" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
