retackling

Seizing once more

Retackling is tackling again or anew.

In sports, it means making another attempt to bring down an opponent: He missed the first time but retackling brought the runner down.

More broadly, it means taking on a problem or task a second time: After the failed renovation, we're retackling the kitchen next month.
