resqueeze

Apply pressure twice

To resqueeze is to squeeze again—applying pressure a second time to extract more or to reshape.

Often used for getting the last bit from a tube or container: I resqueezed the toothpaste tube to get one more brushing out of it.

The word appears in contexts from citrus juicing to data compression, wherever a second pass might yield additional results.
