<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">reassemble after a defeat</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for regroup that I've seen before include "Reassemble after a defeat" , "Assemble after defeat" , "Gather (after an attack)" , "form new parties" , "make new arrangements" .)
