reauthorize

/ɹiˈɔθɝˌaɪz/ verb

To authorize again, to give authority to anew.

Word Origin Authorize comes from Latin auctor 'originator, promoter,' from augere 'to increase, produce.' So to authorize is to give power or permission, originally to 'increase' someone's authority. Reauthorize means to grant that power again. The same root augere gives us augment, auction (increase by bidding), and auxiliary (helping increase). The breakdown re+author+ize shows 'again' + 'author' + 'make.'
