Etymology
The term 'relocate' originates from the prefix 're-', meaning 'again' or 'back', and the Latin root 'locare', which means 'to place' or 'to locate'. The use of the word in English dates back to the mid-20th century as urbanization increased and people began moving more frequently for work or personal reasons. Initially used predominantly in business contexts, it has since evolved to encompass broader applications, including residential moves and various forms of relocations, including diplomatic postings or military assignments. As global mobility has increased, so has the frequency and variety of contexts in which 'relocated' is applied.
