relabels

Changes the tags

Relabels means to label again, typically replacing an old label with a new one.

Someone might relabel jars in a pantry, or a company might relabel products after a rebrand.

Figuratively, to relabel is to reclassify or rename: The study relabels what was once called shyness as social anxiety disorder.
