Etymology: "Reunifies" is the third-person singular present form of "reunify," which means to restore unity by bringing together parts that had been separated. It is an inflected form, so the story belongs to its base verb. "Reunify" is formed from the prefix "re-," meaning again, attached to "unify," which comes from the Latin "unificare," built from "unus," meaning one, and "facere," to make. Together the pieces give a literal sense of making things one again. The prefix itself is an old inheritance: it descends from Latin "re-," which came through Old French and entered English in the Middle English period.
