We learn about continuation (7)
I believe the answer is:
renewal
'continuation' is the definition.
(I know that renewal is a type of repeating)
'we learn about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'we'+'learn'='welearn'
'welearn' with letters rearranged gives 'RENEWAL'.
(Other definitions for renewal that I've seen before include "reconditioning" , "what happens in a library" , "Restoration, recovery" , "Process of renovation" , "Replenishment" .)
