Repaired and put back in stock (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

restored

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

'repaired' is the definition.
('restore' can be a synonym of 'repair')

'put back in stock' is the wordplay.
'put back' becomes 'restore' (I've seen this before).
'in stock' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'restore'+'d'='RESTORED'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for restored that I've seen before include "Returned to former state" , "Brought back to original condition" , "Returned to original condition or place" , "touched up?" , "returned to its former condition?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
