regroup
UK: ˌriːˈɡruːp | US: ˌriˈɡrup
v.t. to organize into a new group or groups
v.i. to reassemble or reorganize, especially after a setback
The word "regroup" combines the Latin prefix "re-" (meaning "again") with the Old French-derived root "group" (meaning "a unit or collection"). Originally used in military contexts to describe reorganizing troops, it later broadened to general usage for any reassembly or reorganization. The logic reflects a cyclical process: breaking apart and forming anew.
