reengraved

Etched once more

Reengraved means engraved again—cutting or carving a design into a surface that was previously engraved.

This typically applies to printing plates, jewelry, or other metalwork where the original engraving has worn down or needs revision: The worn plate was reengraved to restore detail to the prints.
