wiederherstellt

Wiederherstellt is a form related to the German verb wiederherstellen. Wiederherstellen means to restore, reestablish, or recover something to its former state—for example data, a system, a function, or a physical condition. Wiederherstellen is a separable-prefix verb; in standard present tense, the prefix wieder is separated from her: er stellt die Verbindung wieder her. The form wiederhergestellt is the past participle, used with haben: Die Daten sind wiederhergestellt. The infinitive is wiederherstellen, and the noun form is Wiederherstellung.

The form wiederherstellt is sometimes seen in texts as a single unit, but it is not the normative surface form for standard German present tense. It may appear in headlines, informal writing, or typographical shortcuts, but proper writing uses two words with the appropriate subject and conjugation. The meaning remains the same as the two-word form in properly constructed sentences.

Usage: Wiederherstellen is common in information technology to describe data recovery (Daten wiederherstellen), in IT service to restore a service (den Dienst wiederherstellen), in healthcare or engineering to restore function, and in general to bring a system or process back to a desired state. In legal or administrative contexts it can mean reestablishing procedures or continuity.

Examples: Er stellt die Verbindung wieder her. Die Daten lassen sich nach dem Backup wiederherstellen. Der Ausfall hinderte die Firma lange, bis der Betrieb wiederhergestellt wurde.
