Reconnecting

/ˌrikəˈnɛktɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Joining or linking something together again after it has been separated or disconnected.

Etymology

From re- (again) + connecting, which comes from Latin conectere (to bind together). The prefix 're-' indicates doing something a second time or returning to a previous state.

Kelly Says
