Working again in a new partnership? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repaired

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

'working' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'again in a new partnership?' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a new partnership?' becomes 'repaid' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're' put into 'repaid' is 'REPAIRED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repaired that I've seen before include "Retired" , "Mended, restored" , "Restored to good condition" , "Fixed" , "Put right - went" .)
