resume

Ngoại động từNội động từ

This word carries a sense of continuity and restoration. It suggests that a process was not permanently ended, but merely suspended, and is now returning to its previous state of activity. It is frequently used in professional, formal, or technical contexts, such as legal proceedings, sports matches, or computer processes. There is a sharp distinction between this verb and the noun resume (curriculum vitae). While the verb is pronounced with a long u and a soft z sound, the noun is typically pronounced with a short u and a s sound. Using the verb in a sentence implies a return to a flow, whereas the noun refers to a static document of history.
