Morphology

reconvergence = reconverge (semi-transparent) = re + converge + ence

The noun is a regular and fully transparent nominalization of the verb 'reconverge'.

Etymology

Reconvergence is made of re- 'again' and converge 'come together', so imagine map lines or paths that break and then meet again. So in networks, reconvergence is the process of restoring stable routes so data can flow again after a change or failure.
