reclose

/ɹᵻklˈoʊz/ verb

To close or be closed after having previously been opened

Word Origin Close from Latin 'claudere' (to shut). Reclose means to close again. The root 'claudere' is everywhere: closet (a small closed space), disclose (to un-close, reveal), enclose (to close in), conclude (to shut together, end), exclude (shut out), include (shut in), and even claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces). So reclose is simply 'shut again'.
