Rewrote

/ˌriːˈroʊt/ verb

Definition

wrote something again or in a new way; created a new version of a written work.

Etymology

From 're-' (again) plus 'wrote' (past tense of write). This straightforward compound follows the productive pattern of adding 're-' to verb forms to indicate repetition.

Kelly Says

Famous authors rewrite constantly—Ernest Hemingway rewrote the ending of 'A Farewell to Arms' over 40 times, and J.K. Rowling completely rewrote entire Harry Potter chapters after thinking of better plot connections.
