redouble
Double down again
To redouble is to intensify or increase greatly, especially in response to difficulty or opposition: They redoubled their efforts after the setback.
The word suggests not just doubling but a dramatic surge of renewed energy or commitment.
In bridge, redouble is a specific bid that further raises the stakes after an opponent's double.
