(ambitransitive)To descend again (often following an ascent)
“1650, James Howell, Epistolæ Ho-Elianæ, London: Humphrey Mosely, Letter 53, “A Hymne to the Blessed Trinity,” p. 67, To thee sweet Spirit I return That love wherwith my heart doth burn, And these bless’d notions of my brain I now breath up to thee again, O let them redescend, and still My soul with holy raptures fill.”
“[…] these vapours rise […] [and] are expanded in the rarefied air before they redescend in the form of clouds and drizzling rain;”
“[…] the whole troop of marsh-birds rose again, darkening heaven, with a simultaneous whirr; and long after that death yell was still ringing in my brain, silence had re-established its empire, and only the rustle of the redescending birds and the boom of the distant surges disturbed the languor of the afternoon.”
“I redescended the stairs, umbrella in hand, and slammed the door for the third time.”
