redoubling
Increasing efforts further
Redoubling is intensifying or increasing effort, typically when previous attempts have fallen short: She redoubled her efforts after the first failure.
In bridge, redoubling is a bid that further increases the stakes after an opponent has doubled.
The word implies not just continuing but pushing harder—a second wind of commitment.
