“Reabandon” is a verb that means to abandon something or someone once again, after having previously abandoned them. It suggests a second or further act of neglect or forsaking, usually after an initial attempt to disengage or leave. The term can be used in various contexts, including relationships, responsibilities, or projects, where someone or something is left behind a second time. The act of “reabandoning” often carries a sense of finality, with little hope for reconnection or revival, indicating a complete disengagement after an earlier separation.
