REATTEMPT Meaning and Definition

1. Reattempt is a verb that refers to the act of trying or making an effort to do something again after a previous attempt has been unsuccessful or has failed. It involves making a second or subsequent effort in order to achieve a desired outcome or goal that was not accomplished during the initial attempt.

   When someone reattempts a task, they are essentially giving it another try, often with the intention of correcting mistakes or improving their previous performance. This can apply to various situations, such as retaking a test, redoing an experiment, or retrying a difficult task or challenge.

   The concept of reattempting implies a sense of perseverance, determination, and resilience. It suggests that failure or setbacks are not seen as permanent roadblocks, but rather as opportunities for growth and improvement. Reattempting often requires learning from previous mistakes, reflecting on past experiences, and adjusting one's approach in order to increase the chances of success.

   The term "reattempt" can also be used in a broader sense to refer to retrying or giving something another chance, not necessarily based on a personal failure. For example, it can describe giving a relationship, a project, or a plan another try after a previous unsuccessful attempt.

2. To attempt again.
