Yes, it is perfectly fine to redefine something that has another meaning already. I use a word, give it a meaning and officially explain it and it does not affect the global definition. I just need to get sure no one confuses one thing with the other. Which I have made clear now. Actually there are even definitions out there which are extremely unclear or definitions that get a new meaning all the time like in Computer Science where you define stuff. It has also fixed defined stuff but even that could technically be redefined safely by pointing out that you mean xy.
Is it helpful? Probably not always when someone is confused but if someone gets what I mean then the purpose is fulfilled. People just need to be aware of that it might be something else which I will explain without problem in case someone is confused. I do not say that other meaning that is normally used by others is wrong.
