reconstruir

/rekonsˈtɾwiɾ/ · B2 · verb

to rebuild, to reconstruct

🧱🏗️ re- (again) + construir (build) = build again; like English reconstruct

Break it into re- meaning again and construir meaning to build. It comes from Latin con- (together) + struere (to pile up, build). Same roots as English construct, so reconstruir is simply to construct again.
