再度 zàidù — “Once Again”

再度 zàidù means “once again” or “a second time” — the formal, journalistic cousin of 再 zài and 再次 zàicì, right at home in news headlines and reports.

再度 zàidù — Once Again, Chinese grammar

再度 zàidù goes right before the verb — the same slot as 再 and 再次, but reserved for formal, written contexts.

S + 再度再度 zàidù + V

Point

再度 zàidù is reserved for formal, written contexts — news, reports, official statements. It’s the word you’ll see in a headline, not the word you’d use asking a friend to repeat something.
