Recommence is a term that means to start or CONTINUE something again. It can be used in many different contexts, such as when a project is restarted after being paused for a period of time, or when a relationship is renewed after a break. The term is often used interchangeably with other words such as CONTINUE, RENEW, restart, and RESUME. All of these words have the same meaning, but they are slightly different in terms of their connotations. For example, CONTINUE implies that something is ongoing, while recommence implies that something is starting anew.
