ripristina

Ripristina is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb ripristinare, whose core meaning is to restore, reinstate, or repair something to a previous state. The verb is transitive and used in a wide range of contexts, from everyday speech to technical and administrative language. It derives from ripristinare, formed with the prefix ri- (back, again) and elements tracing to the Latin restituere, through the normal development of Italian.

The related noun ripristino denotes the act of restoring or the restored state; ripristinazione is a more formal synonym sometimes used in technical and administrative language. Other related verbs include ristabilire (to re-establish) and restituire (to return or restore to a previous owner or state). In computing, ripristinare commonly refers to restoring data, configurations, or system states, such as backing up and then selecting Ripristina to return to a prior setup. In user interfaces, "Ripristina" often appears as a label or button to reset settings.
