Put in a grave position for a second time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reinter

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

'time' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'put in a grave position for a second' is the wordplay.
'put in a grave position' becomes 'inter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a second' becomes 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education).
'inter' after 're' is 'REINTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reinter that I've seen before include "having to change last bed" , "put in grave situation again" , "Bury again" .)
