Etymology: "Reimplants" is the third-person singular form of "reimplant," a verb meaning to plant again, or to put something back into position in the body or elsewhere. It is built from the prefix "re-," meaning again or back, attached to "implant." The base word "implant" comes from the Latin "implantare," meaning to plant in or insert, combining "in-" (in) with "plantare" (to plant), itself from "planta," a sprout or cutting. The verb carries that horticultural sense of setting a young growing thing into the ground, and its medical and figurative uses build on it. Adding "re-" simply gives the sense of doing that act a second time or restoring something to its place.

Synonyms: retransplants, reinsertions
