rekonstituiert

Rekonstituiert is the past participle of rekonstituieren. It denotes that something has been reconstituted, reestablished, or restored to its original or previously intended structure, state, or form. The term is used in formal, bureaucratic, and technical language to describe a process of returning to a known constitutional order or configuration after disruption or dissolution.

Etymology and usage. The word combines the prefix re- (again) with konstituieren (to constitute or establish). In everyday German, rekonstituieren can refer to restoring a body, organization, or system to its former setup, as well as to restoring a biochemical or pharmaceutical substance to a usable solution.

Political and organizational contexts. In politics and administration, rekonstituiert describes a body that has been re-created or reassembled following dissolution, crisis, or major reform. Examples include a rekonstituierte Regierung (reconstituted government) or eine rekonstituierte Nationalversammlung (reconstituted parliament). The concept implies continuity with the prior order while acknowledging a renewed formation or mandate.

Scientific and medical contexts. In science, pharmacy, and medicine, rekonstituieren means to add solvent to a dry substance to form a solution or suspension. A powder or lyophilized material is bakterialy described as rekonstituiert after the preparatory step. The term conveys a practical restoration of usability rather than a change of chemical identity.

Usage notes. Rekonstituiert is a formal, neutral term. It should not be confused with konstituiert (constituted) or neu konstituiert (newly constituted); the emphasis is on restoration or reassembly to a prior constitutional state.
