reconstruct
Piece together anew
To reconstruct is to build something again after it has been damaged or destroyed: They reconstructed the cathedral after the fire.
The word extends to mental rebuilding—piecing together events or circumstances from available evidence: Detectives reconstructed the crime scene, Historians reconstruct ancient societies from fragmentary records.
Reconstructive surgery repairs damaged body parts.
