REDEFECT Meaning and
Definition
-
Redefect, as a verb, means to defect or rejoin an opposing group, organization, or political party after having previously defected or left them. It refers to the act of changing one's allegiance back to the original side or abandoning a new affiliation to return to the former one. This term typically arises in contexts related to politics, warfare, or social groups where shifting loyalties and allegiances play a significant role.
The concept of redefect can also be extended beyond political or military domains and applied to any situation where individuals have previously disassociated themselves from a group, only to return later. This can include religious affiliations, professional organizations, or even personal relationships.
The word "redefect" combines the prefix "re-", indicating repetition or again, and the noun "defect," meaning a departure or deviation from a standard or expected behavior. With the addition of the prefix, "redefect" takes on the specific notion of a return or repetition of the act of defecting.
The term "redefect" can, therefore, be used to describe the action of going back to a former allegiance or association, often implying a change of mind, a reversal of previous decisions, or a reconsideration of the benefits or drawbacks of previous choices.
