Etymology: Re- plus shove: "reshove" is simply the prefix "re-" (again, back) attached to "shove," which itself arrived in English in the 1500s, probably from Old English "scūfan," meaning to push or thrust. So "reshove" means to shove again or push back. It is a straightforward formation, and the most useful fact is that the prefix has been productive in English for centuries, so "reshove" needed no special coinage to exist.
Synonyms: push again, shove again
