reversions
Going back again
Reversions are returns to earlier states or conditions.
In law, a reversion is the return of property to its original owner after a lease or grant expires: The land reverts to the estate upon her death.
In genetics, reversions are mutations that restore an organism's original trait.
The word often implies stepping backward: His reversions to old habits worried his therapist.
