To plan or create something again in a different way, improving or changing its appearance or function.

Etymology

Combination of the prefix 're-' (again) and 'designed' (past tense of design); emerged as a common word in the 20th century with manufacturing and industrial design.

Kelly Says

Companies obsessively redesign products every few years not always because they're better—it's partly psychological obsolescence, making older versions feel 'outdated' so people buy new ones.
