How Do You Spell RENOMINATED?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪnˈɒmɪnˌe͡ɪtɪd] (IPA)

Renominated is a word meaning to place a candidate up for election again. The correct spelling is /riːˈnɒmɪneɪtɪd/, with emphasis on the second syllable. This word's spelling is a combination of prefix "re," meaning "again," and "nominated," which means "to propose someone for an office or position." The letter "e" after "nominate" indicates the present participle, making it "nominating," which then becomes "renominated" when used in the past tense.

RENOMINATED Meaning and Definition

1. Renominated is the past tense and past participle of the verb "renominate." This term refers to the act of nominating someone or something for a position, honor, or award again, after they have already been nominated in the past. Renominating typically occurs when a person or entity has previously been nominated and either did not receive the position or honor, or when the previous term or period for which they were nominated has expired.

   Renomination can apply to various scenarios, such as political campaigns, awards ceremonies, or selection processes for positions. In the political context, if a candidate failed to secure a particular office in a previous election, their supporters or party members might decide to renominate them in a subsequent election to give them another chance at winning. Similarly, in award ceremonies, if a nominee did not receive the accolade they were in the running for, they may be renominated in the following year or in subsequent editions of the event.

   The act of renominating someone or something recognizes the value or potential that was previously acknowledged during their initial nomination. It indicates the belief or confidence that the previously nominated individual or entity still possesses the necessary qualities or qualifications to be considered for the position or award at hand. Renomination is essentially a reaffirmation or reintroduction of a nomination, often driven by the conviction that the prior nomination should be revisited, and that another opportunity should be provided.
