reacclimation

Getting used again

Reacclimation is the process of adjusting again to conditions you were once accustomed to.

Someone returning home after years abroad undergoes reacclimation to their native culture.

The word implies a period of readjustment: After a week of reacclimation, the office routine felt normal again.

Less common than reacclimate but used when the process itself is the focus.
