restablezco

Restablezco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb restablecer, which means to restore, reestablish, or bring back to a previous state. It can be used with a direct object, as in restablezco la conexión (I restore the connection), or in a health-related sense, where the phrase is often formed reflexively as me restablezco or with estar as me estoy restableciendo to indicate recovery.

Etymology: restablecer is built from re- (again, back) + estable- (stable) from Latin stabilire; the word denotes making something stable again. The yo form restablezco is irregular in the present tense, following a common pattern of -cer verbs that end in -zco in the first person.

Usage notes: present tense is used for current actions, statements of capability, or habitual actions. Example: restablezco la red después del fallo; restablecemos la relación; los médicos esperan que el paciente se restablezca. In health contexts, prefer me estoy restableciendo rather than me restablezco, but both can appear in writing. Note that restablecer differs from restaurar; restablecer emphasizes restoring functionality or normality, while restaurar often refers to restoring form or appearance.

Related forms: infinitive restablecer; noun restablecimiento; past participle restablecido; other conjugations follow standard -er verb patterns (present: restablezco, restableces, restablece; preterite: restablecí, restableciste, restableció; present subjunctive: restablezca).
