I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'draw' is the definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Bind; knot" , "Fixture" , "Neckwear item" , "Bond; draw" , "Draw for neckware" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
