Etymology: "Reacquainted" is the past tense and past participle of "reacquaint," a verb built from "re-" meaning "again" and "acquaint." The base word "acquaint" traces back through Old French and Latin, where the root idea is of making something known or familiar to a person. Adding "re-" simply restores that familiarity after a break, so to be reacquainted is to become known to someone again after time apart.

Synonyms: reintroduced, familiarized
