rehang

Put back up

To rehang is to hang something again, typically after it has fallen, been removed, or needs repositioning.

Pictures get rehung after painting a room; doors get rehung when hinges fail; curtains get rehung after washing.

We had to rehang all the artwork after the renovation.

The past tense is rehung.
