afresh

From the beginning

Afresh means anew or again, typically with the implication of making a fresh start or beginning something over.

It suggests setting aside what came before and approaching something as if for the first time.

After the project failed, we decided to start afresh with a completely different approach.

The word appears almost exclusively with verbs like start, begin, or look at.
