Went and put it right (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repaired

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

'went' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'put it right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is present in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'paired' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
