reacquaint

Meanings

1. 1
   verb

   to make someone familiar again with a person, place, subject, or skill

   Before the expedition, she reacquainted herself with the region's old survey maps.

Formed from re- ("again") + acquaint. Acquaint came through Old French acointier from Late Latin accognitare, related to Latin cognoscere ("to get to know"). Reacquaint therefore means literally to make known or familiar again.
