Repropose

Repropose is a verb meaning to propose again; to submit a proposal anew after it has been rejected, deferred, or revised. The term is most often used in formal or organizational contexts, such as meetings, committees, or legislative bodies, where a motion or recommendation may be presented anew for consideration.

Etymology: The word is formed from the prefix re- meaning 'again' plus propose, which itself derives from Latin proponere 'to put forward' (pro- 'forward' + ponere 'to place').

Usage: In parliamentary procedure and governance, a member may repropose a motion after it has failed or been withdrawn, often with amendments or new supporting information. In research, grant, or project contexts, an organization may repropose a funding request or project plan that was not approved previously, typically with revisions based on feedback.

Notes: Repropose is less common in everyday language than 'resubmit' or 'reintroduce,' but it is understood in formal discourse. When using the term, it is typically for deliberate, formal re-presentation rather than casual repetition.

Examples: After the vote failed, the chair allowed the member to repropose the motion at the next session. The department decided to repropose its budget request with revised figures and additional justification.
