re-express
Put another way
To re-express something is to express it again, usually in a different form or with different words.
The term appears often in technical contexts—mathematicians re-express equations in simpler terms, translators re-express ideas across languages: Let me re-express that more clearly.
The hyphen distinguishes it from the rarer reexpress.
