reanointed
Ritually rechosen, reoiled
Reanointed means anointed again—to have oil or another substance ceremonially applied a second time, typically in a religious context.
The term appears in discussions of religious leadership or spiritual renewal, where someone receives a fresh blessing or consecration: The bishop was reanointed after his return from exile.
Figuratively, it can describe being newly designated or blessed for a role: The party reanointed him as their candidate.
