Start off confirmation for judge to go over again (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iterate

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

'go over again' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'start off confirmation for judge' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'judge' could be 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging) and 'rate' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iterate that I've seen before include "Repeat, state again" , "Recapitulate" , "State repeatedly, say again" , "Say again, repeat" , "Utter or perform repeatedly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
