Rehicimos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb rehacer in the preterite tense, meaning "we redid" or "we remade." It is used to describe a completed action in the past in which the subject group made changes to something that had been done previously.

Etymology and form: The verb rehacer is formed with the prefix re- (indicating repetition or doing again) combined with hacer (to do or make).

The choice of rehacer in the preterite often conveys that the action was substantial and completed within a single past event or timeframe.
