🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Reevaluate derives from the Latin verb valere, meaning 'to be strong or worthy,' which forms the basis of evaluate. The prefix re-, meaning 'again,' was added to create this word, which emerged in English during the 19th century to denote the action of assessing or determining value anew.
Breakdown
re- (again, anew) + evaluate (from Latin valere, to be worthy/strong, + -ate suffix forming a verb). The root valere underlay the adjective valoris and substantive valor, eventually developing into the modern sense of assigning or determining worth.
