rejoin

Come back to

Rejoin means to join again after separation: She rejoined her friends after the phone call, He rejoined the company after two years away.

A separate word spelled the same way means to reply sharply or wittily—a rejoinder.

This sense is formal and uncommon: She rejoined that the criticism was unfair.
