Description

Rewild is a verb that means to restore to its natural state.

The word wild, meaning β€˜a natural, uncultivated state,’ is of Old English and German origin. Our word of the day adds the prefix β€˜re’ and creates a verb that means to return a region to this state.

I can barely recognize the area where the mall used to be. It looks as though their efforts to rewild the area have been successful.
