remoulding
Changing the shape
Remoulding is the British spelling of remolding—reshaping something that was previously formed.
Clay can be remoulded, and so can opinions, institutions, or identities: The party spent years remoulding its image.
The word implies deliberate reconstruction rather than starting fresh.
