refounding
Establishing anew, afresh
Refounding is the act of establishing something again on new or renewed foundations.
Organizations, movements, or institutions may undergo refounding when their original purpose has eroded or circumstances demand reimagining: The party needs a complete refounding, not just new leadership.
The term implies more than revival—it suggests going back to fundamentals and rebuilding from there.
