recommencement

Beginning once more

Recommencement is the act of beginning again after an interruption or pause.

Where commencement marks a first start, recommencement marks a resumption: The recommencement of hostilities followed the failed peace talks.

The word appears in formal or official contexts—treaties, proceedings, academic calendars.
