🌳Etymology
Origin
Review derives from Latin revidere, a compound of re- (again) and videre (to see), literally meaning 'to see again'. The term evolved to denote the act of examining something a second time or providing critical assessment.
Breakdown
re- (again) + videre (to see) = revidere (to see again). The Latin revidere developed into Old French revue and then Middle English review, retaining the sense of re-examination and critical evaluation.
