Recommence is a verb that means to begin or start something again, often after a pause or interruption. It is derived from the Latin word "recominitiare," which translates to "begin again."
When an activity, process, or event recommences, it signifies a resumption or continuation. It implies the renewal or reestablishment of an action that had previously stopped or been temporarily halted. The interruption may have been due to various circumstances such as a break, delay, discontinuation, or even a conclusion of a certain phase.
Recommencing can be observed in different contexts, ranging from work, education, sports, entertainment, and daily life. For instance, in the workplace, after a holiday break or a temporary suspension, employees would recommence their tasks and responsibilities when they return. Similarly, in education, students might recommence their studies and regular classes after a vacation or academic break.
This verb underscores the idea of picking up where one left off, emphasizing the movement towards a fresh start or a renewed effort. It signifies a continuation with the objective of completing or achieving something that had previously been initiated. Recommencing often implies a sense of anticipation, motivation, and readiness to embark on a new phase, following a pause or interruption.

The word "recommence" has Latin origins. It is derived from the Latin word "recommencare", which is a combination of the prefix "re-" (meaning again) and the verb "commencare" (to begin). This Latin verb is derived from the noun "cominitium", meaning the beginning or start. Over time, the word "commencare" evolved into the Old French "comencier", and eventually into the modern English word "commence". The addition of the prefix "re-" gives the word "recommence" the meaning of starting or beginning once again.
