reconverging
Coming together anew
Reconverging describes things coming back together after having separated or diverged.
Paths that split may reconverge further along; opinions that differed may reconverge as new evidence emerges.
The term appears in technical contexts—light rays reconverging after passing through a lens, data streams reconverging after parallel processing: The two highways reconverge just north of the city.
