retriggered
Set off anew
Retriggered means triggered again—activated, initiated, or set off a second or subsequent time.
The word appears most often in technical contexts: a sensor retriggered by motion, a timer retriggered before expiration, an automated process retriggered after failure.
The alarm retriggered when the door opened again.
In psychology and internet discourse, retriggered can describe being emotionally triggered again by something that recalls past trauma or distress.
