reselected

Reselected is the past participle of reselect, meaning that something has been chosen again after an initial selection. Used as an adjective or verb, it describes a second or repeated act of selection in a process, study, or evaluation. The term is common in technical or scientific contexts where iterative filtering or screening is required to improve quality, relevance, or performance.

In plant breeding and genetics, reselection refers to selecting candidates after an initial round to refine desired traits, often across multiple generations. In survey methodology or experimental design, reselection can describe drawing a second sample or re-evaluating previously selected units to ensure representativeness or reliability. In computing or data analysis, reselection may occur when researchers repeatedly choose subsets of data or features during exploratory work. In telecommunications, the term is used in cell reselection, the process by which a device selects a new serving cell or base station to optimize signal strength or quality; a reselection event leads to the device being served by a different cell.

Usage notes: reselection typically denotes a deliberate, repeat selection rather than spontaneous choice. The noun form reselection is more common in formal descriptions, while reselected serves as the verb form to describe something that has already undergone the action.
