re-signing
Agreeing again officially
Re-signing means signing again, typically used when someone renews a contract or agreement they previously held.
Athletes re-sign with their teams, employees re-sign with employers, and tenants re-sign leases.
The quarterback is re-signing with the team for another three years.
The hyphen distinguishes it from resigning, which means quitting—a crucial difference that can reverse the meaning entirely.
