Taking it easy, wound again (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resting

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

'taking it easy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wound again' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wound' could be 'sting' and 'sting' is found in the answer.
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resting that I've seen before include "Lying down" , "Actor while out of work" , "Taking it easy" , "Relaxing from work" , "At ease" .)
