Etymology

The word 'rehearse' originated from the Middle English word 'rehercen', which came from the Old French word 'rehercier', meaning 'to harrow again, to harrow over'. The term was originally used in the context of repeating or reciting something, especially in preparation for a performance. Over time, 'rehearse' evolved to encompass the idea of practicing or going over something repeatedly to achieve proficiency. Today, 'rehearse' is commonly used in the performing arts and other fields to describe the process of practicing or preparing for a future event or performance.
