restirred

Mixed once more

Restirred is the past tense of restir, meaning to stir again.

The word appears almost exclusively in cooking contexts, where ingredients that have settled or separated need mixing again: She restirred the soup before serving.

Occasionally used figuratively for emotions or memories brought back to motion: Old resentments were restirred by the reunion.
