noun

Etymology: From re- + composition.

  1. A composition again or anew; the process or result of recomposing

    The Universe is one vast chemical laboratory, in constant operation, by her internal forces. The laws or principles of attraction, cohesion, and repulsion, produce in never-ending succession the phenomena of composition, decomposition, and recomposition.

    This unnecessary process of recomposition can also attack a playwright most effectively in the last two weeks of rehearsal, when the production is usually in pieces, the actors restive, and a quick solution to everyone’s discomfort appears to be an amputation of one of the limbs of the script.

  2. Synonym of terramation (“a process for the final disposition of human remains”)
