reanchors
Fixes in place anew
Reanchors means to anchor again—to secure something that has come loose or to establish a new point of stability.
A boat that has drifted reanchors in a better spot.
Figuratively, someone reanchors their identity after upheaval: After the divorce, she reanchored herself in her work and friendships.
