reloosened
Made slack once more
Reloosened means loosened again after having been tightened or secured.
The prefix re- indicates repetition of the action: The knot reloosened after I retied it, She reloosened her grip on the steering wheel.
The word appears rarely, since most contexts simply use loosened again.
