give something a new meaning or role

To change what people think a thing is, what it means, or what it should do.

الگوی کاربرد: to redefine [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "redefine" with "rephrase". "Redefine" means changing the idea, role, or limits of something, while "rephrase" only means saying the same idea in different words. Learners also sometimes overuse it for very small changes; usually "redefine" suggests a major or important change.

set a new formal definition

In math or programming, to give a new official meaning to a name, symbol, or function, instead of the old one.

الگوی کاربرد: to redefine [a variable / a function / a term]

هم‌معنی‌ها
reassign (In programming, suggests giving a variable a new value rather than changing its formal definition.) | override (In object-oriented programming, means replace an inherited method’s behavior, similar in effect but narrower in use.)
متضادها
