reclosing
Fastening once more
Reclosing is the act of closing something again after it has been opened.
The term appears in everyday contexts—reclosing the lid, reclosing the door—but has specialized meaning in electrical engineering, where reclosing refers to automatically restoring power after a circuit breaker trips: The reclosing relay restored service within seconds.
