改めて

あらためて

once again

Mnemonic

You take the self that turned up last time and give it a knock, then put the question again from the top. The same あらた as 新た, made fresh again: あらためて.

Worth knowing

Not simply again. It is doing the thing over properly and from a clean start, and it is formal.

Built from

renew, reform
己 self + 攵 strike
