Etymology

The word 'readjusted' is derived from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' or 'anew', and the verb 'adjust', which comes from the Latin 'justare', meaning 'to make just' or 'to correct'. The term 'adjust' has been used in English since the 16th century, originally in the context of fitting things together properly. With the addition of the prefix, 'readjust' began to emerge in the English language around the 19th century, reflecting the need for a more flexible approach in various fields like economics and personal development. It indicates the ongoing process of adapting to changes and finding better solutions in an ever-evolving environment. The use of 'readjusted' indicates not just a simple change, but often an iterative process of refinement and improvement.
