Etymology

The term 'reexamine' is composed of the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the root 'examine' which derives from the Latin word 'examinare', meaning 'to weigh' or 'to test'. The Latin verb is a combination of 'ex-', meaning 'out', and 'anima', meaning 'soul' or 'spirit', reflecting the thoroughness of examination. First used in the English language in the early 19th century, 'reexamine' has since been employed in various fields, including science, academia, and law, highlighting its importance in critical evaluation and analysis.
