How Terry can have another shot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retry

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

'how terry can' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'another shot' is the wordplay.
'another' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'shot' becomes 'try' (I've seen this before).
're'+'try'='RETRY'

'have' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retry that I've seen before include "Hear (a case) again" , "Advice following failure, initially" , "Have another go" , "Put on trial again" , "Make a further attempt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
