regained
Won back possession
Regained is the past tense of regain—to get back something lost or taken away.
You regain consciousness after fainting, regain composure after being rattled, regain territory after defeat: She regained her balance on the icy sidewalk.
The word implies restoration to a previous state rather than acquiring something new.
