retried

The term retried is the past tense and past participle of the verb retry, meaning to attempt again after a previous attempt failed or was unsuccessful. The form is regular and is formed by adding -ed to the base verb retry; it is used in many domains to indicate a subsequent attempt following an initial failure.

In computing, retried describes automatically reattempting a failed operation, such as a network request that times out or a temporary I/O error. Retry logic often uses backoff strategies to avoid overwhelming a service, and aims for idempotence so repeated attempts do not produce additional side effects.

In legal contexts, retried refers to a defendant undergoing a second trial, typically after a mistrial, an appellate reversal of conviction, or procedural errors in the initial trial. The availability and scope of retrials vary by jurisdiction. The noun retrial denotes the proceeding itself, while retried describes the act of undergoing it.
