refound
Stumble upon anew
Refound means to found again—to establish or create anew something that existed before: The monastery was refound in the twelfth century after Viking raids destroyed the original.
The word appears mostly in historical and institutional contexts where organizations are reestablished after dissolution or destruction.
Separately, refound is the past tense of refind, meaning to find again something previously lost.
