Etymology
The term 'recommence' derives from the combination of the prefix 're-', which signifies repetition or return, and the word 'commence', meaning to begin or start. The prefix 're-' is of Latin origin, indicating a return to a previous state or action, while 'commence' comes from the Latin 'cominitiare', which means to initiate or begin. The word has evolved throughout the years to fit various contexts, particularly in formal or academic settings where the resumption of activities, processes, or discussions is necessary. The first recorded use of 'recommence' in English dates back to the 19th century, reflecting a growing need for clarity in communication regarding the continuation of previously started actions.
