Recover one's possession? (6)

I believe the answer is:

regain

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

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

'one's possession?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'possession?' becomes 'gain' (gain is a kind of possession).
're'+'gain'='REGAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
