reacquainted
Familiar once more
Reacquainted describes becoming familiar again with someone or something after a period of separation or neglect.
You might become reacquainted with an old friend at a reunion, or reacquainted with a skill you haven't practiced in years.
After decades apart, the siblings were finally reacquainted.
To get reacquainted suggests deliberate effort to restore former closeness or knowledge.
