/riːˈstɑːrt/verb / noun
ELI5 Mode🧒

Restart means to begin an activity, process, or device again after it has stopped or been interrupted, effectively wiping the slate clean for a fresh attempt. In modern contexts, it's indispensable in technology for fixing glitches in software or hardware, while metaphorically it represents personal reinvention, like hitting reset on life's challenges.
