To reconvene means to meet again after a pause, especially for a formal group like a committee, court, or parliament.
From *re-* (again) + *convene* (to come together), from Latin *convenire* (to come together, assemble). It literally means ‘to come together again.’
When a judge says, ‘Court will reconvene at 2 p.m.,’ it’s just fancy language for ‘we’ll get back together later.’ The word quietly encodes time: same group, same purpose, new moment.
