Build anew in Crete (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erect

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

'build' is the definition.
(erecting is a kind of building)

'anew in crete' is the wordplay.
'crete' can be anagrammed to 'ERECT'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erect that I've seen before include "Unbowed" , "Crete (anag)" , "Build, put up" , "Upright or vertical" , "Upright; construct" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
