reenforcing

Bolstering the structure

Reenforcing is an alternate spelling of reinforcing—adding strength, support, or emphasis to something.

You reenforce a wall by adding structural support, or reenforce a point by repeating it with additional evidence.

The spelling with one e is less common than reinforcing but appears in older texts and some contemporary usage.
