retraverse
Travel back over
To retraverse is to traverse again—to cross, travel through, or cover the same ground a second time.
The word appears in technical and literary contexts: We retraversed the mountain pass at dawn.
In computing and mathematics, it means to move through a data structure or path that has already been traversed: The algorithm retraverses the graph to verify connections.
