redealing

Reshuffling the deck

Redealing is dealing cards again, typically after a misdeal or when starting a new hand: After the cards got mixed up, we spent a minute redealing.

The term extends to any redistribution of something previously allocated: The committee is redealing committee assignments after the resignation.
