Fix, as a bowline (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retie

'fix as a bowline' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for retie that I've seen before include "Make knot or bow again" , "Link up again" , "make another knot" , "Bind again" , "restore connection" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
