afresh
denuo (νεόθεν, ἐκ καινἣς, when what had ceased begins again): de or ab integro (ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς when what had disappeared, been lost, etc., is reproduced by the same causes: Silver Age, ex integro): iterum (a second time): rursus (again). It is often translated by re (red) prefixed to a verb; e. g, a sedition breaks out afresh, recrudescit. To begin afresh, repetere (the proper word): iterare (for the second time): redintegrare (quite from the beginning): retractare (to go over a lesson, etc., again; think over again): iterum legere (to read anything again, for the second time). Observe, not iterata or repetita vice.
