rebonded
Connected once more
Rebonded is the past tense of rebond—to bond again after a previous bond has broken or weakened.
The word appears in chemistry and materials science when molecular bonds reform, and in discussions of relationships or attachments that have been restored: After years apart, the sisters rebonded over their shared grief.
In haircare, rebonding is a straightening treatment that chemically restructures hair.
