reintegrates

(reintegrate)
restore unity
Etymology
'reintegrate' originates from Latin, specifically the verb 'reintegrare', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'integrare' meant 'to make whole'.
'reintegrate' passed from Medieval/Neo-Latin 'reintegrare' into later European usage (e.g. French 'réintégrer') and was adopted into English as 'reintegrate'.
Initially it meant 'to make whole again' (in a literal or formal sense); over time the meaning has broadened to include social, legal, and organizational senses of 'restoring to a former status or membership'.
