Etymology
The word 'readmit' is a combination of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and 'admit' which comes from the Latin word 'admittere', meaning 'to allow to enter'. The roots can be traced back to the early 15th century when it began to be used in the English language in the context of allowing someone re-entry, particularly in educational settings. Over time, the use of 'readmit' has expanded beyond schools to include cases where individuals are welcomed back into organizations or groups after an expulsion or absence.
