Crossword Genius

Build, or rebuild Crete (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erect

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

'rebuild crete' is the wordplay.
'rebuild' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'crete' with letters rearranged gives 'ERECT'.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for erect that I've seen before include "Standing straight" , "Upright; construct" , "Not having a list" , "Standing vertically" , "Construct, build" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
