Etymology: "Restamped" is the past tense and past participle of "restamp," a verb formed by attaching the prefix "re-" to "stamp." The prefix means "again" or "anew," so to restamp something is to stamp it once more, typically to renew an official mark, a date, or a printed impression that has worn away or needs updating. The base word "stamp" carries its own long history of meaning a striking impression, from the action of pressing an object down onto a surface. Because "re-" attaches so freely to English verbs, "restamp" is a straightforward compound with no special story behind it, and its meaning follows directly from its two parts.

Synonyms: re-stamped
