Etymology: "Rehandles" is the third-person singular present form of "rehandle," a verb meaning to work over something again. It is built from the prefix "re-," meaning "again," attached to "handle," which goes back to the Old English "handlian," meaning to touch or manage with the hands. The verb therefore carries its literal sense of handling something once more, whether that is a physical object, a piece of material, or a problem that has already been dealt with.
