retranslation

/ɹˌitɹænslˈeɪʃən/ noun

Translation again or anew.

Word Origin From Latin trans- 'across' and latus 'carried' — literally 'the act of carrying across again.' The same root ferre 'to carry' gives us translation, transfer, and reference. The PIE root *bher- 'to carry' also appears in bear, bring, and fertile. So retranslation is a great example of how the idea of 'carrying' meaning across languages can be repeated.
