Trot out once more at the last minute (6)

I believe the answer is:

relate

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

'trot out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.

'once more at the last minute' is the wordplay.
'once more' becomes 're' (prefix in words like 're-emerge' or 're-enter').
'at the last minute' becomes 'late' (I've seen this in other clues).
're'+'late'='RELATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relate that I've seen before include "Recite - marriage guidance organisation" , "Narrate or connect things" , "Empathise" , "Tell in Tralee" , "Tell - the marriage guidance people" .)
