reinterpret

/ˌɹiɪnˈtɝpɹət/ verb

To interpret again.

Word Origin Reinterpret is simply 're-' (again) + 'interpret'. 'Interpret' comes from Latin 'interpretari', which originally meant to explain or translate, possibly from 'inter' (between) and a root related to 'pretium' (price) — a negotiator between parties. So reinterpret is to explain again. The same root gives us 'interpretation', 'interpreter', and 'misinterpret'.
