Etymology: "Restamp" is a plain formation: the prefix "re-" meaning "again" or "anew" attached to "stamp". To restamp something is to stamp it once more, whether that means impressing a mark on a document, a ticket or a coin a second time, or marking something that already bears a stamp so that it carries a new one. The base word does most of the work. "Stamp" traces back to the idea of striking or pressing an object to leave an impression, and the "re-" simply repeats that action. Because the formation is transparent, the meaning can be read straight from its parts without any special history behind it.

Synonyms: restrike, reimpress
