ri-ZYOOM/rɪˈzjuːm/

To resume is to start again after a pause: resume a sitting, resume talks. Renew (this batch) can mean start again or extend validity; the American noun résumé is a CV — in British English say CV. A badge log is the restart condition, not momentum.

Meaning

To start again after a pause (not the American noun for a CV).

Examples

• “Resume the sitting only when the spare has signed the badge log.”
• “Restart is everyday. Renew is this batch. CV is the British noun. Momentum is a story. A signature is the condition. Wait for the swipe; then continue.”

Good to know

Start again after a pause. Not the American CV (say CV). Cousin: renew (this batch). Momentum ≠ a signed log.
