reinicia

Reinicia is a Spanish verb form that denotes the act of restarting or rebooting a device, process, or system. It appears most often as the third-person singular present indicative form of reiniciar (él/ella reinicia) and as the affirmative informal imperative (tú reinicia), while the infinitive is reiniciar.

Etymology and related forms: Reiniciar is formed with the prefix re- (meaning again) attached to iniciar (to begin). Iniciar itself comes from Latin initiare, from initium meaning beginning. The related noun reinicio refers to the restart or reboot itself. Other related verbs include volver a empezar and reiniciar, which are used in similar contexts.

Usage and context: Reinicia is common in both everyday language and technical contexts. In computing and information technology, it is used to describe restarting a computer, application, or service. For example: “El sistema se reinicia automáticamente después de la actualización” or “Reinicia el equipo para aplicar los cambios.” In broader usage, reiniciar can refer to restarting plans, routines, or procedures after a pause or interruption, as in “La empresa decidió reiniciar su estrategia.”

Variants and related terms: Reiniciar is the canonical infinitive; reinicia corresponds to él/ella reinicia or tú reinicia in imperative form. The noun reinicio (restart) is often used to name the event itself, while reiniciar and reiniciar serve as core verbs. Synonyms in Spanish include volver a empezar, comenzar de nuevo, and, in technical slang, reboot.
