REATTACH Meaning and
Definition
-
The verb "reattach" refers to the act of reconnecting or joining back together something that has been separated or detached. It is typically used to describe the action of restoring a bond, link, or connection that had been broken or lost.
When something is reattached, it means that it is being returned to its original position, or it is being reunited with a larger entity from which it was previously separated. This often involves physically fixing or affixing parts together in a way that the object becomes whole again.
For instance, in the context of repairing a broken object, reattaching could involve using adhesive, screws, or other methods to firmly bring separated pieces together in their original orientation. This process of reconnection is crucial for achieving the object's previous functionality.
In a broader sense, reattach can also be used figuratively to describe restoring a connection or relationship between people or groups. It implies the re-establishment of a bond or association that had been broken or weakened. This could involve rebuilding trust, communication, or collaboration to return to a previous state of harmony or cooperation.
In summary, "reattach" is the action of reconnecting or returning something to its place or previous state of attachment, whether physical or metaphorical.

Etymology of REATTACH
The word reattach is derived from the combination of the prefix re- and the verb attach.
The prefix re- in this case, indicates a repetition or restoration of an action, while the word attach comes from the Middle English word attachen, which was borrowed from Old French atachier.
Attach ultimately traces back to the Latin word attaccare, meaning to fasten. From there, it can be further traced to the Latin word tangere, which means to touch. So, reattach essentially means to attach again or restore the act of attaching.
