retoss

Flip once more

To retoss is to toss again—typically throwing something back into the air for a second attempt.

The word appears most often with salads, where retossing redistributes dressing that has settled: Retoss the salad just before serving.

It also applies to coin flips repeated due to disputes or unclear results.
