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

'putting on again' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'springier pants' is the wordplay.
'pants' indicates an anagram (UK informal term for 'nonsense' or 'rubbish').
'springier' anagrammed gives 'REPRISING'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
