What does RETIE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To fasten something with a knot once more, typically after it has slipped loose or come undone.
Retie is a simple combination of re- and tie, used whenever a knot, lace, or bow needs fastening a second time. Runners often stop briefly to retie a loose shoelace, and sailors retie ropes that have slipped during a storm. The word can also apply more loosely to relationships or agreements, as in retying old ties between two groups. Because its meaning follows directly from its parts, retie rarely needs explanation in context.
