Reuniting

/ˌriːjuˈnaɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

bringing people or things together again after they have been separated; joining back together.

Etymology

From 're-' (again) plus 'unite' (from Latin 'unitus' meaning 'joined'). The prefix indicates a repetition of a previous action.

Kelly Says

Family reunions after long separations trigger measurable increases in dopamine and oxytocin levels in the brain—the biochemistry of joy literally rewires itself when loved ones reconnect.
