unretires
Leaves retirement behind
Unretires means to return to work or active status after retiring.
Athletes unretire to compete again; executives unretire to lead companies.
The word often carries a note of skepticism, since some figures announce retirement repeatedly: He unretired for the third time.
Less commonly, it means to take something out of retirement: The team unretired his jersey number.
