Etymology: "Retextures" is the third-person singular present form of "retexture," which is simply the prefix "re-" (again, anew) attached to "texture." The base word "texture" comes from Latin "textura," meaning a weaving or a web, from "texere," to weave, and so the core idea of the whole family is cloth being woven together. "Retexture" therefore means to weave or work a surface again, giving it a new texture.

Synonyms: redesigns, reconfigures
