Word origin

The term 'recommit' is formed by the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back', and the verb 'commit', which is derived from the Latin 'committere', meaning 'to bring together, to connect'. The usage of 'commit' in English dates back to the early 15th century, related to the sense of putting something into the hands of another or committing an act. The notion of 'recommitting' arose in the context of legislative processes in the 19th century, where it became necessary to revisit decisions and ensure thorough discussions and revisions. Over time, it has evolved into common usage in various decision-making processes across different fields including politics, business, and project management.
