Repristinate is a verb that means to restore to original state or condition.

The root word of repristinate is pristine, an adjective of Latin origin that means ‘spotless.’

When we repristinate an object, we return it to its original spotless condition. Here’s an example:

I like to repristinate old colonial furniture, but it sure is hard work. It takes a lot of scrubbing and sanding down to get those artifacts back to their original condition.
