rededicate
Commit once more
To rededicate is to dedicate again—to renew a commitment or consecration.
A church might be rededicated after renovation.
A person rededicates themselves to a cause after wavering: After the setback, she rededicated herself to her training.
The word implies that the original dedication has lapsed or needs reinforcement.
