Etymology: "Restruck" is the simple past of "restrike," meaning to strike again, or to impress once more. It is an inflected form, so the story lies in the verb behind it. That verb is simply the English prefix "re-" joined to "strike," which descends from Old English "strican" and the Germanic root for stroking or moving across a surface. The prefix traces back through Old French and Latin to the Proto-Italic root for "back" or "again," so "restrike" carries the sense of repetition built into its first syllable.
