verb reconstructs · reconstructing · reconstructed
-
To construct again; to restore.
As it was necessary to reconstruct the culvert close to the original position, the hazards of tunnelling through clay in an unstable condition, due to the absorption of water, had to be reduced by the application of electro-osmosis to dry out the material.
Opposite: deconstruct
- To attempt to understand an event by recreating, imagining, or talking through the circumstances. But reconstructing the scene among those silent walls in the precarious light, with the unforgotten ghosts of other crimes ready to emerge from every shadow, I can conceive that no more frightful spectre than this sombre being, dripping red from hands and face at every step, has ever walked.
