re-establish
Set up again
Re-establish means to establish again—to restore something that existed before but was interrupted, lost, or dissolved.
You might re-establish contact with an old friend, re-establish order after chaos, or re-establish credibility after a scandal.
Countries re-establish diplomatic relations; businesses re-establish their presence in a market.
The word emphasizes restoration to a former state rather than creation of something new.
