Rents out, having desire rising again (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resurgent

'rising again' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rents out having desire' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'having' indicates putting letters inside.
'desire' becomes 'urge' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rents' is an anagram of 'resnt'.
'resnt' placed around 'urge' is 'RESURGENT'.

(Other definitions for resurgent that I've seen before include "Reviving after period of inactivity" , "Reviving in popularity" , "rising again" , "Reviving after a lull" , "Coming back to life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
