Check sieve again (8)

I believe the answer is:

restrain

I believe this is a double definition.

'check' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'sieve again' is the second definition.
('strain' can be a synonym for 'sieve' so perhaps 'restrain' is OK for 'sieve again')

(Other definitions for restrain that I've seen before include "Stop" , "bottle up" , "Arrest - confine - subdue" , "Tie up - arrest" , "Manacle" .)

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