reinvesting

Returning profits inward

Reinvesting is putting money back into something rather than withdrawing it.

Investment earnings can be reinvested to compound growth: We reinvested the dividends.

The term applies beyond finance—reinvesting time, energy, or resources into a project means committing them again after an initial effort: She's reinvesting in her education.
