reunifying
Bringing together again
Reunifying is the process of bringing back together what was once divided.
Countries reunify after political separation: Germany spent decades reunifying after the Berlin Wall fell.
Families reunify after war or migration.
The word implies restoration of a previous unity rather than joining things that were never one.
