re-explained

Made clear twice

Re-explained means explained again, typically with different words, examples, or approach after an initial explanation failed to convey the meaning: The teacher re-explained the concept using a diagram.

The prefix suggests the first attempt didn't land—someone asked for clarification, looked confused, or admitted they still didn't understand.
