reacclimatizing

Getting used again

Reacclimatizing is the process of readjusting to conditions you were once accustomed to but have since left.

Someone returning home after years abroad may spend weeks reacclimatizing to the climate, culture, or pace of life: After five years in the tropics, she's still reacclimatizing to New England winters.
