reconversion
Return to original
Reconversion is the process of converting something back to its previous state or use.
The term appears most often in economic and industrial contexts: factories undergoing reconversion from wartime to peacetime production, or currencies reconverted to former exchange standards.
The reconversion of the economy after the war took several years.
