rewrought
Forged once more
Rewrought is the past tense and past participle of rework, though reworked is far more common.
It appears in literary or formal contexts where the writer wants an archaic flavor: The smith rewrought the broken blade.
The word suggests reshaping or remaking something, especially through skilled effort: She rewrought the manuscript into something publishable.
