re-examine
Look over twice
Re-examine means to examine again, typically with fresh attention or from a different angle.
You might re-examine evidence after new facts emerge, or re-examine your assumptions when a plan fails.
The word often implies that the first examination was incomplete or that circumstances have changed: The court agreed to re-examine the case.
Also spelled reexamine.
