Reconnected

/ˌrikəˈnɛktəd/ verb

Definition

joined together again after being separated; restored a relationship or contact with someone.

Etymology

From Latin 're-' (again) and 'conectere' (to connect). The prefix 're-' indicates repetition or restoration, and the term became common in modern usage with telecommunications.

Kelly Says

Social media was supposed to help people reconnect with friends, but studies show it often leaves people feeling more isolated—sometimes the digital version of reconnecting isn't the same as real connection!
