Etymology: "Restamps" is the third-person singular present form of the verb "restamp," meaning to apply a new mark to something. The verb is formed from the prefix "re-," meaning again or anew, attached to "stamp." So "restamp" is simply "stamp again," and "restamps" is that verb in the form used with "he," "she," or "it" in the present tense, as in "the clerk restamps the form."
