reestablish

Bring back officially

Reestablish means to establish again something that existed before but was interrupted, lost, or discontinued.

You might reestablish contact with an old friend, reestablish diplomatic relations between countries, or reestablish a routine after a disruption.

The word emphasizes restoration to a former state rather than creating something new.

After the war, it took years to reestablish trade routes.
