- 1(土地)填海造陸、開墾；(名譽等)恢復、收回
The process of making land usable again, often by taking it back from the sea or from a ruined, damaged state — land reclamation is how new land gets built out into the ocean, common in crowded coastal cities. More generally, reclamation can also mean getting back something you had lost, like your reputation or your good name.
From the word’s history
From Middle French réclamation, from Latin reclamatio; equivalent to reclaim + -ation.
來自中古法文 réclamation；即 reclaim 加 -ation。
組成re- (again) + claim (to say something belongs to you, from Latin, originally meaning 'to call out') + -ation.
