Recommence

To begin again; to start over or resume something that has been paused or stopped. This typically implies a formal or organized restart of an activity, process, or event. The term suggests a deliberate and often planned renewal, differentiating it from simply starting something new. It implies a conscious decision to continue from a previous point or to begin from the outset, but in a way that recognizes the prior effort or existence of the activity. The act of recommencing suggests a recognized endpoint or cessation before the new start.
