Unruffle, as feathers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preen

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "Tidy and clean (plumage)" , "Arrange feathers" , "to give himself a pat on the back" , "Groom with elaborate care" , "Perfect one's appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
