reappointment

/ˌɹiəˈpɔɪntmənt/ noun

Word Origin Appoint comes from Old French apointer 'to arrange, settle' — literally 'to bring to a point'. The root pungere 'to prick' gives us point, puncture, and pungent (sharp). Reappointment is the act of appointing again. So when you reappoint someone, you're 'pointing' them to the position again.
