Word origin

The term 'reissue' has its roots in the prefix 're-' which means 'again' and the Latin word 'issuere' meaning 'to issue' or 'to put forth'. The word began to appear in English around the early 20th century, particularly within legal and publishing contexts. In the world of finance, reissuing securities became common practice to adjust share amounts or update terms. In publishing, the concept of reissuing works has allowed for the revival of interest in older literary and musical pieces, making them accessible to new audiences while preserving their original essence. Through its evolving usage, 'reissue' has become a standard terminology across various industries, reflecting a practice of renewal and correction.
