Etymology
The term 'rejudge' is a compound word formed by prefixing 're-' to the verb 'judge'. The prefix 're-' is derived from Latin, meaning 'again', and 'judge' comes from the Old French 'jugier' and Latin 'judicare', meaning 'to form an opinion' or 'to decide'. The concept of re-evaluating judgments has a long history in legal systems, where appeals allow for previous decisions to be reconsidered based on new arguments or evidence. The term reflects a broader social and legal principle that decisions should be fair and revisable in light of new information.
