From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 :   [ gcide ]

  Redouble \Re*dou"ble\n.
     An optional bid made by the side currently holding the
     highest bid for the contract, after the opposing side has
     doubled. This bid increases the score for successfully making
     the contract, and increases the penalties for failing. The
     score or penalty depends on the number of tricks over or
     under the contract, according to a defined schedule, and
     depending on the vulnerability of the side attempting the
     contract.
     [1913 Webster]
