Agent put away? Say again (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repeat

'say again' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'agent put away?' is the wordplay.
'agent' becomes 'rep' (short for representative).
'put away?' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this before**).
'rep'+'eat'='REPEAT'

(Other definitions for repeat that I've seen before include "old TV show" , "Say again, or belch (6" , "Quote from memory" , "Parrot" , "No new programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
