Watch and he'll do it again (8)

I believe the answer is:
repeater
'watch' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'he'll do it again' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is located in the answer.
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repeater that I've seen before include "Amplifier in phone line" , "one feeding a duplicator" , "Burp" , "One keeps saying" , "Maybe watch" .)
