regrasped

Seized once more

Regrasped is the past tense of regrasp, meaning to grasp again after releasing or losing hold.

It applies both to physical gripping—she regrasped the rope before it slipped away—and to mental comprehension, as when someone regains understanding of a concept that had become unclear.

The word emphasizes the recovery of a hold that was previously established but temporarily lost.
