To engage again after withdrawal, or to oppose a disengagement.
From 'counter-' (against) + 'disengage' (from Old French 'desengager', meaning to release or free). This compound creates a word meaning the opposite action of pulling away.
Military strategists actually use this term when troops re-enter combat after retreating—it's the dynamic opposite of withdrawal. Language here mirrors the chess-like thinking of tactical decisions.
