Etymology
The word 'reimburse' originated from the Old French word 'reimboursier' meaning 'to replace, restore'. It entered the English language in the late 15th century. The prefix 're-' means 'back' or 'again', and 'imburse' comes from the Latin 'imbursare' which means 'to put in a purse'. Over the centuries, 'reimburse' has retained its meaning of repaying or compensating for expenses.
