reassumption

Reclaiming a role

Reassumption is the act of assuming something again—taking back a role, responsibility, or position previously held or temporarily relinquished: The reassumption of power by the military followed months of political chaos.

The word appears most often in formal or legal contexts, describing the return to a former state or the reclaiming of authority.
