vt. to bring together again after separation
vi. to come together again
The word "reunite" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "unite" (from Latin "unitus," meaning "to join"). The prefix "re-" implies repetition, while "unite" conveys the act of joining. Together, they form a logical progression: "to join again" or "bring back together." This reflects the word’s core meaning of restoring connection after separation.
