restitutive
Returning to original
Restitutive describes actions or measures aimed at restoring something to its original state or making amends for loss or injury.
A restitutive justice system focuses on repairing harm rather than punishment: The court ordered restitutive damages to compensate the victims.
The term appears most often in legal and philosophical contexts discussing how wrongs should be addressed.
