restart
UK: ˌriːˈstɑːt | US: ˌriːˈstɑːrt
vt. to begin again or anew
vi. to resume operation after stopping
n. the act of starting something again
The word "restart" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "start" (from Old English "styrtan," meaning "to leap up" or "begin"). The prefix "re-" is widely used in English to indicate repetition or return to a previous state, while "start" retains its core meaning of initiation. Together, they logically form a term for resuming an action or process.
