Etymology
The word 'rehash' originates from the late 19th century, specifically deriving from the combination of the prefix 're-' meaning again, and 'hash', which in this context refers to the act of mixing or chopping up something. The term 'hash' itself comes from the French word 'hacher', which means to chop or mince. Initially, 'rehash' was used to describe the culinary act of reusing scraps of meat in a hash dish. Over time, its usage broadened to include the metaphorical sense of reusing or repackaging ideas, content, or discussions that have already been presented or explored, often without adding any new insights or developments. This evolution reflects the increasing prevalence of repetitive discourse in various forms of media and dialogue.
