unpausing
Restarting after stopping
Unpausing is resuming something that was temporarily stopped—a video, a game, a conversation.
The word belongs to the digital age, where pause and unpause are standard controls: I unpaused the movie after getting snacks.
It can extend to anything put on hold: We're unpausing the project now that funding came through.
