Etymology: "Reconnecting" is the present participle of "reconnect," formed from the prefix "re-," meaning again or back, and "connect." The base comes from Latin "connectere," which joined "con-" (together) with "nectere" (to tie or bind). The original image is literal: two things tied together again after the ties have come loose.
