Word origin

The word 'reimagine' originated from the combination of 're-' which means 'again' or 'anew' and 'imagine' which means 'to form a mental image or concept of something.' It first appeared in the late 20th century as a term to describe the act of envisioning or conceiving something in a new or different way. The concept of reimagining has since become popular in various fields such as art, technology, and business, as a way to encourage creativity, innovation, and fresh perspectives.
