recombine
Join back together
To recombine is to combine again or in a new way.
Elements that were once together, then separated, may recombine: The band recombined after a decade apart.
In genetics, recombination occurs when DNA sequences are rearranged, creating new genetic combinations.
The word suggests reassembly—putting pieces back together, though not necessarily in their original configuration.
