Get back one's losses (6)
I believe the answer is:
recoup
'get back one's losses' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for recoup that I've seen before include "Reimburse or compensate" , "Get back one's losses" , "Recover, losses perhaps" , "Regain (expenditure)" , "recover money" .)
