Recover, for example, in wet weather (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regain

'recover' is the definition.
(I know that recover can be written as regain)

'example in wet weather' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wet weather' becomes 'rain' (rain is wet weather).
'eg' put inside 'rain' is 'REGAIN'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for regain that I've seen before include "Possess once more for regina" , "Recover - in gear (anag)" , "Recover, retrieve" , "Win back" , "Get back, recover the use of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Irish News.
