restore
Return to original
Restore means to bring something back to a previous condition or state.
You restore a building to its original appearance, restore order after chaos, or restore someone's faith after betrayal.
In computing, to restore is to recover data from a backup: I restored my files after the crash.
To restore someone to a position is to reinstate them.
The noun restoration covers both the act and, capitalized, specific historical periods of monarchical return.
