reselect

/ɹˈisɪlˌɛkt/ verb

To select again

Word Origin Select comes from Latin se- 'apart' + legere 'to choose' — literally 'to choose apart,' to pick out from a group. Reselect simply adds re- 'again,' so to choose again. The root legere is a powerhouse: it gives us elect (choose out), collect (gather together), neglect (not choose), intellect (choose between), and even legend (something to be read, originally chosen). So reselect is to go through that picking-out process once more.
