reintensify

Grow forceful once more

To reintensify is to intensify again after a period of weakening or subsiding.

The word appears most often in weather reporting, where storms reintensify after losing strength: The hurricane reintensified over warm Gulf waters.

Conflicts, emotions, and debates can also reintensify after temporary lulls.
