Etymology: "Reunifier" is simply "reunify" with the agent suffix "-er" added, meaning one who or that which reunifies. The verb "reunify" is itself built from "re-", meaning again, and "unify", which comes from Latin "unificare", made of "unus" (one) and "facere" (to make). Put together, the chain describes something that makes one thing whole again after a division. The word's usefulness comes from the political and historical contexts where unity had been broken and needed restoring, such as countries or communities that were split and later rejoined. A reunifier is therefore a person, group, or force that brings separated parts back into a single whole.
