Send back a statistical form (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

return

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

'send back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a statistical form' is the wordplay.
'a statistical' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'form' becomes 'turn' (turning is a kind of forming).
're'+'turn'='RETURN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for return that I've seen before include "answer" , "reply" , "second half of journey" , "Send/come back" , "Retort" .)

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