Why “rebeat” is a great word
To strike or hit a second or further time. Formed within English by derivation from the prefix re- (meaning "again") and the verb beat. Unlike "repeat" (which refers to the general action of doing something again) or "pulsate" (which describes a natural, often rhythmic, throbbing), "rebeat" denotes the deliberate, external action of striking anew. It is the hammer finding the same nailhead after a glancing blow, the blacksmith lifting his hammer for another blow upon the cooling iron, or the anxious hand returning to rap again at an unanswered door—a small, violent insistence that the first attempt was insufficient, that impact must be renewed to make the world respond.
Etymology

verb
