restabilise

Restabilise is a verb in British English meaning to restore a system, condition, or state to stability after a disturbance. It is usually transitive (restabilise the economy), but can be used intransitively as well (the system restabilises after a fault). The related noun forms are restabilisation (British) and restabilization (American).

Originating from re- (again) and stabilise, restabilise signals re-establishing equilibrium after disruption. It is used across domains such as engineering, medicine, finance, and geopolitics. In engineering, restabilisation may involve damping, control systems, or structural measures. In medicine, it denotes returning a patient to a stable condition. In finance or politics, it refers to restoring market confidence, price stability, or political order through policy actions or international assistance.

Regional spelling variations aside, the term is widely understood in technical and policy discourse. Related concepts include stabilization and stabilisation, as well as the alternative form re-stabilization.
