繰くり返かえす
繰り返す means to repeat an action multiple times, often cyclically, while やり直す emphasizes redoing something from the beginning, usually after a failure or to improve the result.
再さい開かいする
再開する is more formal and means to resume an interrupted activity, whereas やり直す implies starting over or redoing, not just continuing.

Compound of やり (continuative form of やる 'to do') + 直す (なおす 'to fix, correct, redo'). The combination yields the meaning 'to do again, to redo'.
