reapprehend

Seize once more

Reapprehend means to apprehend again—to arrest or seize someone a second time, typically after they have escaped custody or been released.

Police reapprehended the fugitive three days after his escape.

The word can also carry the older sense of apprehend meaning to grasp mentally, so to reapprehend an idea is to understand it anew or reconsider it, though this usage is rare.
