reexperienced
Underwent once more
Reexperienced is the past tense of reexperience—to undergo or feel something again.
The word appears often in psychological contexts, where trauma survivors reexperience distressing events through flashbacks or intrusive memories: She reexperienced the accident every time she heard screeching tires.
Outside clinical use, it simply means to have an experience a second time.
