readapted

Got used anew

Readapted means adapted again or anew, typically after circumstances have changed.

Someone who returns to a former environment may need to readapt: After years abroad, she readapted to life in her hometown.

The term also describes works that have been adapted multiple times: The novel was readapted for a new generation of viewers.
