unretired
Came back professionally
Unretired describes someone who has returned to work after retiring, or describes the state of having done so: After two years of golf and boredom, he unretired and went back to the firm.
The word works as both verb and adjective: She unretired last spring; an unretired executive.
The phenomenon has become common enough that the word now appears routinely in discussions of workforce trends and financial planning.
