The second delivery (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebirth

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

'the second delivery?' is the definition.
'rebirth' can be an answer for 'delivery?' (rebirth is a kind of delivery). I'm not sure about the 'the second' bit.

'second delivery?' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education).
'delivery?' becomes 'birth' (the delivery of a baby).
're'+'birth'='REBIRTH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rebirth that I've seen before include "Revival; reincarnation" , "Renaissance" , "Spiritual renewal" , "spiritual enlightenment" , "second coming" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
