'restored health but on borrowed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'again?' could be 'anew' ('anew' can be a synonym of 'again') and 'anew' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'time' is the link.
