reemphasizes
Stresses the point anew
Reemphasizes means to emphasize again or with renewed force, typically because the point bears repeating or wasn't fully absorbed the first time.
Someone reemphasizes a warning, a policy, or an argument when they want to make sure it registers: The coach reemphasizes fundamentals before every game.
The word often signals that the speaker considers the matter important enough to stress more than once.
