Etymology
The word 'readopted' is a combination of the prefix 're-' which means 'again' and the root word 'adopt', which comes from the Latin word 'adoptare', meaning 'to choose for oneself'. The prefix 're-' originates from Latin 're-', denoting repetition or returning to a previous state. The practice of adoption in a societal context has evolved over centuries, with 'adopt' originally signifying a formal acceptance of a child into a family. Over time, its usage expanded to include various forms of acceptance, including ideas, policies, and principles. The addition of 're-' elaborates on the concept of returning to previously adopted principles, especially in legal, organizational or policy-making contexts, as societies continuously reassess their norms and regulations to fit current needs.
