resets
Springs clocks forward
Resets is the plural of reset—instances of returning something to an original state or starting position.
In gaming, resets are attempts to restart after failure: After dozens of resets, I finally beat the boss.
In broader use, resets are fresh starts or recalibrations: The relationship needed several resets before it worked.
To reset is to restore defaults, clear accumulated changes, or begin again.
