再建
解説 Definition
reconstructions は reconstruction（再建、復元、再構成）の複数形です。建物や地域の再建だけでなく、出来事やデータをもとにした復元・再構成にも使われます。
The plural of “reconstruction,” referring to multiple acts, processes, or results of rebuilding something damaged or of recreating a past object, appearance, or event from available evidence. The items may be physical rebuilding projects or competing interpretations and models.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 reconstruction に複数の -s を付けた形で、発音の末尾は /z/ です。re-「再び」＋construction「建設・構成」と分ければ、「再び組み立てたものや過程」と理解できます。建物の再建だけでなく、遺跡の復元図や事故経過の複数の再現にも使える点を覚えます。
Break reconstructions into re-, meaning “again,” construction, meaning “building or assembling,” and plural -s. The word therefore suggests several instances or results of building something again. In a city, it can refer to multiple rebuilding projects after a flood. In history or research, reconstructions can be models of a vanished temple or different accounts of how an accident occurred. Remember that the word covers both physical rebuilding and evidence-based recreation. Its final plural sound is /z/, as in the singular-to-plural change from reconstruction to reconstructions.

reconstructions の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の接頭辞「re-（再び）」と「construere（共に積み上げる）」に由来します。語根「stru-（積む）」に接尾辞「-ion」が付き名詞化。「壊れたものを再び組み立てる」ことから「再建」を意味します。同語根に「structure（構造）」があります。
Reconstructions is the plural of reconstruction. Reconstruction combines the prefix re-, meaning “again,” with construction and the noun-forming suffix -ion. Construction ultimately derives from Latin construere, “to pile together” or “build,” formed from con-, “together,” and struere, “to arrange or pile up.” The same Latin root underlies structure, construct, and instruct. The plural ending indicates more than one rebuilding or recreated account.
