To recapitulate or summarize; to bring back to the main point.
From 'anacephalaeosis' + '-ize' (to cause to become, to perform an action). The verb form allowing speakers or writers to 'recap' their arguments.
The '-ize' suffix turns this abstract rhetorical concept into an action verb—it's what every good speaker does in their conclusion when they say 'let me anacephalize the key points,' though we more often say 'summarize' today.
