解説 Definition

Rejoins is the third-person singular present form of rejoin. It means that someone joins a group, team, or conversation again after leaving, or that a route or separated part meets another again; in formal use, it can also mean replies sharply.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rejoins は re-「再び」＋ join「加わる」に三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形で、語末は /z/ と発音する。she rejoins the team の「再参加」、the paths rejoin の「再合流」が中心。会話へ戻る場合は rejoin the conversation。文語の「言い返す」もあるが、例文では再びつながる像を優先する。
Divide rejoins into re- + join + -s: “join again,” with the ending required by a third-person singular present subject. The final -s is pronounced /z/. Keep the image of a broken connection being restored: she rejoins a team, he rejoins a conversation, or a path rejoins another path after they separate. This distinguishes it from joins, which does not imply an earlier departure or split. Rejoin can also mean “reply,” especially in formal or literary language, but the examples here center on returning and meeting again.

rejoins の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rejoins は rejoin の三人称単数形で、re-「再び」+ join「結びつける・加わる」から成ります。join はラテン語 iungere「結ぶ」が古フランス語を経て入った語で、rejoin は「もう一度つながる」が原義です。だから「再参加する・合流し直す」という意味になります。関連語は junction, adjoin。
Rejoins is the third-person singular present form of rejoin. Rejoin combines re-, “again,” with join, which entered English through Old French from Latin iungere, “to join or yoke.” Its transparent original sense is therefore “to join again,” underlying both a person’s return to a group and the renewed meeting of paths. A separate formal sense, “to reply or retort,” developed through a historically related French legal and conversational use.
