reconstitute

Rebuild from remnants

To reconstitute is to restore something to its original form, especially by adding water to a dried or concentrated substance: reconstitute powdered milk, reconstitute frozen orange juice.

The word extends to rebuilding organizations or systems that have been disbanded or dismantled: The committee was reconstituted after the scandal.

Reconstituted materials are assembled from processed fragments: reconstituted leather, reconstituted wood.
