Repeatedly making a profit - also repeated (5,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

again and again

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

'repeatedly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a profit also repeated' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'profit' could be 'gain' (synonyms) and 'gain' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for again and again that I've seen before include "repetition" , "Repeatedly" , "Continually" , "Many times" .)
