Take exception to being ordered to leave again (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resent

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

'take exception to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ordered to leave again' is the wordplay.
'ordered' becomes 'sent'.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'leave again' becomes 're' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sent' after 're' is 'RESENT'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resent that I've seen before include "being put in post again" , "Take offence at" , "Consider (something) to be an affront" , "Find objectionable" , "Take exception to" .)
